In memory of

Mary Elizabeth "Molly" Bennett

1992 - 2014

Add memories that will last forever

Not sure what to say?

October 22, 2015

I think about you everyday. Some days I cry. But most days I think about all the wonderful memories we have, and I smile and laugh. You always said how scared you were that you wouldn't be remembered when you were gone... well, I can guarantee that that will never happen. You mean so much to me, and I can't thank you enough for everything you have taught me. You inspire me to be a better person, and to work hard to become the best person I can be. I love you, and I miss you everyday.

July 28, 2015

Beautiful, cheerful little red head
I remember your smile so sweet
I could only hope my little girl grows to be like the wonderful young woman you became
I hope your singing a lovely song where you are
Ready to smile and sing to us one day when we meet again.

July 27, 2015

Prayers from a stranger. God Bless everyone who is saddened by this loss.

December 19, 2014

Three months ago today you left us. I have never been lonelier. Love you and miss you so much.

Elanie, I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. I never had the opportunity to meet her but she is lovely and so young. Mary and I will pray for you all and may you find peace in the Lord.

October 12, 2014

It's taken me a while to believe you're really gone. Molly was funny, she was vibrant, she was kind, she was sarcastic. I remember seeing her with a friend on the second floor of Gault last year, cracking up over some joke while they tried to work on homework. They were laughing so hard that they were almost on the floor. That's how I want to remember her.

To her family, I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't know if there's anything I can say that would offer any sort of comfort, but please know that we still care.

October 5, 2014

Today is the first day that I feel okay. I looked out my window and I saw her in the changing colors of the leaves. I love you sweet girl.

I only knew Molly for a short period of time, but she has a beautiful soul that she shared with all she met. Rest Easy pretty girl.

Thank you, Molly, for holding me accountable to be a better person - to be others' ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. Thank you for touching my life, and so many other lives, in the most precious way.

To Mr. & Mrs. Bennet, Sean, & Tess - Molly brought so much joy to so many people. Her light will always live on in the people she touched. I pray for peace and comfort for your family and for all who cherished Molly for the truly wonderful young woman she was.

Elaine, Jamie, Sean, and Tess,
There are no words to express our sadness. Please take comfort in God's infinite wisdom, and know that Molly is now resting comfortably!

Molly was a virbrant and talented young woman who would light up the room with her laughter, her smile, and her beautiful voice. She was very caring towards her friends and those around her. She persevered through difficult situations. I wrote her a note right before her AP Calculus test trying to encourage her and that I believed in her. I told her that she could defy the gravity of the difficulty since she loved the musical Wicked. I was so proud of her that she ended up doing so well on the exam. I am deeply saddened for the Bennett family and uphold them all in my prayers. I can only trust that Molly is yet again defying gravity and soaring above in heaven. Again, my deepest heartfelt sympathies and prayers for all of you.

Molly was a vibrant soul, a talented young lady, and brightened the room with her smile, infectious energy, and beautiful singing voice. She persevered in times when things got difficult. I told her in a note before her AP Calculus test that she could soar above the difficulty and defy gravity (since she loved the musical Wicked). She did very well on that test and continued to rise above many challenges. I was so proud of her for achieving so well. I am deeply saddened for the Bennett family and for the loss of this amazing young woman but trust that Molly is now flying above, truly defying gravity. The entire Bennett family continues to be in my prayers.

September 25, 2014

Molly, my heart is breaking as I learn of your passing. You touched so many lives around you - with your bright personality and beautiful smile. You were a joy to those around you and you will be terribly missed. You will always live in our hearts and prayers.

September 25, 2014

Thank you Molly! My deepest condolences to all who loved her.

Mike Gerver

Sending my deepest condolences to the whole Bennett family. Molly must have been a great girl if she was raised by Professor Bennett. No parent should ever have to go through this.

As I read the stories and see the photos of how Molly deeply touched all of the lives around her, I am reminded how lucky we all are to have met her and how important it is to never forget the strength, love and compassion she held through it all....

I had probably three philosophy classes with her, she was very intelligent and had a warm spirit.

September 23, 2014

Molly, you were one of the first friends I made at The College of Wooster. You brought the campus so much happiness. I will always remember your bright smile, beautiful laugh and sarcastic remarks. You will live forever in the hearts of your beloved friends and family. I am so blessed to have had you as a friend and I extend sincere condolences to the family.

Molly touched so many lives with her contagious smile, quick wit, vivid imagination, and immeasurable talents. I was blessed to have known her. My deepest condolences go out to all who loved her.

September 23, 2014

My heart is full seeing the beautiful ways that you have impacted our campus and your world, Molly. You will continue to live in our minds as the bright, silly, sweet woman we see every day just as you always have. As I saw someone else put it this weekend, heaven couldn't wait for you. Thank you for the privilege of knowing you.

Our hearts are breaking with you at The College of Wooster Nursery School. We are so fortunate and blessed to have worked with Molly. She had such a natural gift working with young children. Through her warmth, kindness and humor, she put everyone at ease and always had an encouraging word. She was a remarkable young woman with such deep beauty and strength. She will always be remembered. Our sympathy and prayers are with you all.

Molly was my breathe of fresh air. We understood each other and respected one another because of that. Her spirit was always calming. She never complained, even though complaining was easy. I will never forget how you made me feel, because that's my lasting memory of your love. May you sing angelicaly with the Angels now. Heaven Couldn't Wait for You.

September 23, 2014

The lipstick cheek kisses on IS Monday, coming to surprise friends from on their birthdays, waltzing into a room and begging us to come visit her as she worked at the C-store... just a few of my favorite memories of the beautiful Molly. I can't express my sorrow to Molly's family and all of those whom she touched with her fiery red hair, wonderful sarcasm, and flawless smile and laugh, but know that those closest to Molly are in my thoughts. Love you, Molly.

Molly was such a beautiful and bright young light to the world.
She carried blessings in her pockets and left a trail of them wherever she wandered.
The world grows a little darker without her.
I light a candle in her name in my heart, in loving memory of her unforgettable incandescence.
So much love.

Hey girl, I remember hanging out with you in the Annex during Spring break just two years ago. This world will miss you a ton, rest easy angel.

September 23, 2014

It was an absolute privilege to have known Molly for the time that I did. Rarely can one soul touch another so profoundly in so short a time; but that was Molly, and I am a better person for it. Your family is in my prayers.

Grace

I can't that say I was lucky enough to know Molly very well, but during the few times we met around campus she never failed to pass me by without a cheerful wave & a glowing smile. It was clear she was living her life to the fullest. It is truly tragic that such a vibrant and loving person has been taken from this earth so soon. I give all my love to Molly's family and friends in their time of grief.

Molly was a dear friend. We met during my study abroad year at Wooster in 2010-11. She was funny and happy all the time. A single smile from her would lighten up my day, no matter how bad it was. I feel privileged to have known her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time. Until we meet again Molly, i will never forget our memories.....<3

The world has lost a shining light, but Heaven has gained a star. I have NO words to express my sorrow for the Bennett family. Elaine was my daughter's kindergarten teacher.
