Maxine Molasky Obituary

Maxine Molasky, a beloved wife, mother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

She was the devoted and loving wife of nearly 54 years to her high school sweetheart, Bobby Molasky, and the cherished mother of Aaron Molasky and his wife Danielle, Rachel Cacciola and her husband Ron, and Ben Molasky and his wife Whitney. Maxine was the proud grandmother of Micah, Melia, Ellasyn, Asher, and Maddox, and step-grandmother to Kenneth, Kendrick, and Tatyana.

Maxine spent her life caring for those she loved, giving endlessly and selflessly of herself to provide comfort, happiness, and opportunity to her family. She created a home filled with warmth, laughter, and kindness. After many dedicated years, she retired from her position at the MUS Library, where she was admired for her hard work and kind spirit. Throughout her adult life, she traveled often and loved exploring new places, especially cruising and vacationing with her family.

She will be remembered for her devotion, generosity, and the love she so freely gave to family and friends. Maxine's legacy of compassion, warmth, and unwavering care will continue to live on through the lives she touched and the family she so dearly loved.

Service will be at Beth Sholom Cemetery, Monday, November 3, at 3:00 PM. Burial to follow at Beth Sholom Memorial Gardens.
