Molly Anne Corlett

"Life with Christ is a wonderful adventure." St. John Paul ll - Molly's Instagram Banner. A gift to the world for 23 years, Molly Anne Corlett was the sweetest and kindest angel on earth who has now become an angel in heaven. Molly was a friend to all and a fervent servant of God. She made the world a better, brighter, holier, and happier place by her presence and her love. Molly's smile and laughter radiated her caring nature and love for others. Molly brought so much joy to the world when arriving on 6/19/98. She has been greatly loved since day one. Many are feeling enormous sadness and immense grief when she departed to heaven all too soon on 2/17/22 as a result of a rupture of a previously undetectable and asymptomatic Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM). As we all navigate a world without our beloved Molly, we must be grateful for the time we had with her and carry on her lasting legacy of love and faith. Molly's list of accomplishments are long, varied, and a testament to who she was. In her entire academic career, including a Master's Degree in BioMedical Engineering, Molly never received anything less than an A. At Chaparral High School, Molly was a National Honor Society Member, Undergraduate Scholar Athlete of the Year, and Senior Female Athlete of the Year. She was a National Merit Finalist, also earning a full-ride academic scholarship and Biomedical Assistantship at ¬ e University of Iowa. ¬ ough she was brilliant in her academic accomplishments, Molly was well rounded and participated in many sports and other activities throughout her life. In fact, Molly was a 16, yes, 16 time Varsity Letter winner in high school, earning letters in the following areas for all four years - lacrosse, cross country, Student Government, and academics. Molly was so in uential in Student Government that Chaparral named an award for "great impact and positive in uence", the "Molly Corlett Award" that is given annually. She packed a lot of living into her short years and she truly made every second count! Molly was always a positive example for others. We nd solace in her strong belief in God and God's presence. She was deeply religious and shared her faith with others on a daily basis. In her short 23 years, she brought the faith of Jesus to many, both by her message and actions. Molly met the love of her life and soulmate, Drew Schlegel in elementary school...though they didn't quite know it at the time! ¬ eir love story began as a strong friendship and grew as they spent time together in college. ¬ e happiest day of Molly's life was on January 6th, 2021 when Drew proposed to her in the idyllic setting of Grand Lake, Colorado, one of their favorite places on earth. Drew and Molly were the perfect pair and had the greatest of loves, a virtuous love, and they helped each other grow in their love of God and their Catholic faith. Molly was absolutely glowing as they planned their future together and set a date for their wedding, July 22, 2022. Molly and Drew wanted a mountain wedding so others could help them celebrate in their beloved Colorado. Sadly, this was never to be.
