She departed this life on September 16, 2025 at 4:15pm at Sinai Hospital. Mollie was called home to receive her heavenly wings for a job well done after succumbing to a lengthy illness.

Mollie received her education from Baltimore City Public Schools where she graduated with honors from Western Senior High School as a Western "Dove". She continued her education at UMBC - University of Maryland Baltimore County where she majored in health. Mollie was an excellent book keeper which is why she pursued a career in Banking and Retail.

She once said " I love the way the earth feels in my hands." A real green thumb. Her most noted talent was an accomplished seamstress. She had a love of travel and cruising to various islands. Mollie was a member and held office of the social club WOTM- Women on The Move. She was very involved from modeling in fashion shows to organizing fundraisers. She was also the designated family and friend baker for countless events with her cakes and other baked goods bringing joy and heavenly flavours.

Mollie had a great love for children, so much that God Blessed her with a newborn baby girl which she adopted. Big Mollie and Little Molly ( what they are now affectionately known as ) loved one another immensely. Big Mollie was and is so very proud of her daughter. She would say being Molly's mother is her greatest accomplishment in life.
