Mollie Tibbetts Obituary
Brooklyn - Mass of the Resurrection for Mollie Tibbetts, age 20 of Brooklyn, will be held at 2:00 PM on Sunday, August 26, 2018 in the gymnasium of the BGM High School in Brooklyn with Bishop Thomas R. Zinkula presiding and Fr. Corey Close as the Homilist. The family will receive friends following the service for a reception and continued fellowship.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be designated to the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital, mailed in care of the Smith Funeral Home, PO Box 368, Grinnell, Iowa 50112. Memories and condolences may be shared with Mollie's family online at www.smithfh.com.
Mollie Cecelia Tibbetts was born the daughter of Robert and Laura (Calderwood) Tibbetts on May 8, 1998 in San Francisco, California. She was raised in San Francisco and Brooklyn, Iowa respectively and graduated from BGM High School in Brooklyn with the class of 2017. She attended the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa and was majoring in psychology.
Mollie loved life. Her passion for it radiated from those beautiful brown eyes and the smile that she was so quick to share with everyone she met. She excelled in writing and speech where she shared her thoughts on some very difficult and complex subjects, mental health and self-esteem. Her talents were rewarded when she was invited to perform them three years at the Iowa All State competition. From her first musical appearance, she was hooked on theatre and enjoyed acting in the school plays. Mollie pushed herself in cross country and made running a part of her everyday life. Children are also something Mollie loved dearly. She began babysitting at an early age and worked the last two summers at the GRMC Day Camp where the kids adored her ability to make them laugh and the way she made them feel love. She was attending the University of Iowa to become a child psychologist to be able to work with children dealing with mental health issues. Dance Marathon, choir and singing were things she also loved participating in. But what Mollie did best was making friends everywhere she went.
Mollie is survived by her father, Robert Tibbetts of Lafayette and Fresno, California; her mother, Laura Calderwood of Brooklyn, Iowa; two brothers Jacob and Scott Tibbetts of Brooklyn; maternal grandparent, Judy Calderwood of Brooklyn. Maternal family includes her Aunt Kim Calderwood and Chris Sellers of Brooklyn, Uncle Erick Calderwood and Billie Jo Calderwood of Brooklyn, and Aunt Deb Column-Calderwood of Washington DC. Maternal cousins of Brooklyn include Morgan and Christian Calderwood and Vaughn and Joseph Irlbeck. Also included are Kelsie Sheets of Oskaloosa, IA and Kiegan Watts of Altoona, IA, Gabe Sellers of Rochester, MN and Sammie Sellers of Des Moines. Paternal aunts include Meg Tibbetts Williams of Des Moines, Iowa, Julie Tibbetts Eaton and Jeff Eaton of Denver, CO., Clare Tibbetts Faulkner and Matthew Faulkner of Long Beach, CA, and Laurie Craig of Des Moines. Paternal nieces and nephews along with families include Shaun Williams of Des Moines, Nicole and Ryan Mikluscak and children Lily and Maeve of Omaha, NE., Jonathan and Brittany Eaton of Denver along with sons Patrick and William, Annie and Brian Wagner along with daughter Margot Maeve of Ann Arbor, MI., Joseph Faulkner of Brooklyn, NY, and Emma Faulkner of Denver Colorado, Emily and Tim Heaston and family Clare, Cate and Teddie, along with Jack Craig, all of Des Moines. Also included are very much-loved step-mother, Kasey Auston-Tibbetts and her children Mallory and Scott along with grandchildren Zackeria Lovick and Pierce Carlson along with their extended family members. Most importantly, Mollie is survived by the love of her life, Dalton Jack and his family.
Mollie was preceded in death by her maternal grandfather, Charles Calderwood; and paternal grandparents, Robert Tibbetts and Clare Meng Tibbetts.

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven, Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their soul, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

It's been 5 years since you were taken away from your family and friends who love you. But you are not forgotten. So many of us have been sad and angry over what happened. Though i didn't know you, you came to represent the innocence of the world and what Evil can do to it. Hopefully, we all have been or can be comforted in the fact that God will one day make this and All wrongs right through his Judgement. Until that day, continue to rest in peace.

Good Morning Mollie, I wanted you to know you are thought of daily. I walk nightly. My Buster use to walk with me and we always walked for you. I would begin every walk asking Buster "Do you think Mollie would like this weather we are having today" then I would say " let's do this walk for Mollie" My Buster is no longer with us but I continue to walk for you dear Mollie. So if you see a cute yellow Lab up in heaven named Buster give him a kiss for me!!! Love Therese

My daughter and I hoped and prayed Mollie would be found safe she had such a lovely smile and beautiful eyes , whilst visiting London at the time Mollie was missing we wrote and left a prayer in the old church by the Tower of London , we think of her and her family often and we now say when theres a gorgeous moon it´s a Mollie moon tonight just like her dad did .

It has been 3 years Mollie since that terrible day. I don't think of you every day but i think of you very often. There are so very many people who still grieve over the loss of you. Many, maybe most are like me in that they never knew you personally. But we remember your face from the media; the photos and short videos. Because of these, everyone could see that you were a real person and not just a name. I think that's where part of the heart ache comes from. I think that most of us need to take comfort in that you are with God now and that one day, he will raise you again. RIP 'til then.
A Dad.

Hearing about Mollies passing I was heartbroken. Mollies story touched me deeply. I have shed many a tear, which i have never done for someone I have never met. That may sound strange, but it was such a heartbreaking tragedy. From reading, Mollie was blessed with a loving family and many great friends. I am a stranger in a different country, but I just wanted to pay my respects to Mollies memory.
Thinking of Mollies family and friends, take care of each other.
Kindest regards,

To the family of Mollie Tibbetts, her friends, and boyfriend, Dalton. I am one of many, that never knew or met Mollie, face to face. But, from the first time I heard of her disappearance, she has held my heart with great affection. Every morning, I would pray for her safe return home.I would check on-line for all the updates,too. So, when I received that phone call from my husband that they found Mollie's body, I fell to my knees (in Walmart)and cried.And, I've never met her. So, I cannot even begin to think what y'all are going through. I am grieving for your loss of such a beautiful young lady. Seriously, the last time I grieved and felt such a deep loss of someone that I did not know was "Lady Diana". Mollie, like Princess Diana, holds the hearts of the American people.Just like Lady Di. We have got to know her through pictures, videos, interviews from loved ones. Sweet Mollie will be missed. And, as a runner myself, I will be thinking of Mollie every race and run I do. Praying for the Lord to heal your hearts and bring you through this difficult time. We will never forget Mollie, and how she has impacted our lives.<3
