We've just become aware of Aunt Mollee's passing last year. We had no idea, but now understand why the sun shines a little less brighter. Mollee was a wonderful force of light!

Love,
John "Shannon" & Carol Stirling

Mrs. Markham was one of the first members I met in 1985 when I started working at Tucson Country Club. She was always kind and greeted me with a big smile.
Her clothing was impeccable, jewelry matching and shoe selection complimented her outfit. She put extra thought and care in planning her bridge luncheons. There was a theme, flowers and decorations planned. Nothing was ordinary about Mrs. Markham. She was a classy lady. I will miss her.

Kent-

I first met your mom when I was a teenager, not sure if it was at Tucson Country Club with my folks or one of our Halloween bonfires, but I liked her right from the start. She was so full of life, there was something special about her. She was classy, she was fun, and she had spunk! You always knew where you stood with her. Even though I had not seen her for some time prior to her passing she was, and always will be, one of my favorite people. God bless you and your family and may the good times be what you remember most.

She was a really neat LADY and I enjoyed talking to her. Sorry for your loss the world is a lot dimmer without her light.
