Molly Catherine Donovan

Born March 15, 1988 and unexpectedly left us on August 3, 2009 after spending a weekend enjoying what she truly loved - good friends, music, and nature. Molly was the 'twinkle' in her father's eye, the love that filled her mother's heart and a cherished sister to her brother, Daniel. Fearless from the moment she could walk, Molly was athletic and spent much of her time outdoors. She had become an avid snowboarder and hiker, and so her job at Kirkwood in South Lake Tahoe was perfect for her. Molly also loved to play her guitar and was never without a book at her side. Molly's memory will live on through the lives she touched in her family, her Preschool and Dunbar pals, her passionate and competitive soccer teammates, and those she met along the way through her high school and college years. Although Molly has left us too soon, her contagious laugh, bright smile and warm heart remain with us. Her adventurous spirit will not be forgotten. She will be fondly remembered for her calm and lovable character, which no one could resist. Molly is survived by her mother, Carol, brother, Dan, countless uncles, aunts and cousins. She was predeceased by her father, Joe. A Memorial Service will be held to celebrate Molly's life on Saturday, August 8th from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. at a private residence. Park at Flowery Elementary School's parking lot where a shuttle will be provided. (To get to Flowery School, turn onto Depot Rd., at the Mountain Avenue stop light on Hwy 12 in Agua Caliente.)
