Molly Anderson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Macy & Son Funeral Home and Cremation Services on Dec. 18, 2025.
Molly passed away from complications of renal disease.
She was a lifelong resident of McMinnville attending the Montessori and Chrysalis schools, Memorial, Duniway, McMinnville High School and graduating from Perrydale.
In her younger years, she traveled with her mother to France and later Switzerland, visited Disneyland and Disney World and made a round-trip cross county trip when her older sister went to off to college on the east coast.
Molly was a licensed esthetician, a certified sommelier and, after a circuitous route through academia, finished her bachelor's degree earlier this year. She owned her own lash shop which gradually evolved into a tattoo business. She was a real do-it-yourselfer – if she didn't know how to do something she'd watch a YouTube video until she got it.
She was known to fix plates of food and take them to people in need. She was funny, smart, compassionate and generous. And sometimes really stubborn!
She is survived by her children Chase, Brooklynn, Benjamin and Hudson; her mother and 'bonus dad,' Anne and Doug Ballard; her father, M. Allen Odell; her former husband, Ross Anderson; her co-parent Ben Harlow; her older sister, Bethany Blackburn and her family; an uncle and several aunts including Rosemary Hardin.
A family service was held at McCabe Chapel and South Yamhill Cemetery.
