Mary "Mollie" Diehl Bender

I am so sorry to hear of Mollie's passing. I had the honor of getting to know Mollie and Charlie while visiting with my dad Joe, who they shared a table with at meal times. Mollie and my dad were constantly teasing each other like siblings, and looking out for each other. While my dad couldn't remember Mollie's name, he would tap on her side of the table and ask where she was if she wasn't feeling up to joining others in the dining room.

I am so sorry to hear of Mollie’s passing. She became very special to me as we visited every evening when I was with my husband. She and Charlie used to keep us laughing and I truly grew to love her. I always asked about her when talking with other family members after we left and I had hoped to be able to visit once Covid restrictions were lifted. Please know you are all in my prayers and that Mollie was a true blessing to David and me. She often looked out for him, as did Charlie.

God bless and keep the soul of this dear, sweet, sassy lady. I can already hear her giving Charlie heck up there.
