Molly graduated from Princeton High School and the University of Iowa in 1977 with a bachelor’s degree in education. She started out teaching in Omaha, Nebraska, and was currently employed with the Hudson School District as a substitute teacher.
She was a member of Delta Delta Delta Sorority; University of Iowa Alumni Association; Waterloo/Cedar Falls Panhellenic Association; Waterloo/Cedar Falls Junior League; Waterloo Junior Golf Association.
Molly’s passions were her children and grandchildren and taking care of family and friends. She enjoyed traveling and spending time with those she loved.
She is survived by her husband; her son Matt of San Diego, Calif.; her daughter, Amy of Denver, Colo.; her mother of Dixon, Ill.; her stepsons, Jeff (Erin) and Joe (Kari) all of Davenport, and Chris (Emily) of Cedar Falls; six granddaughters, Jamee, Jill, Ali, Sam, Katie, and Addy; her brothers-in-law Tim (Patty) Greenwood of Cherokee, and Dave (Mary Ellen) Greenwood Omaha, Neb., Brian (Leila) Girsch of Waterloo and Mike (Heidi) Bloomington, Minn. ; and a sisters-in-law, Mary (Tom) Foster of Tualiton, Ore., and Sue Girsch of Olympia, Wash.; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her first husband and her father.
Because of Molly’s love of golf, Tom’s military service in the U.S. Air Force and their combined love of Country, memorial contributions may be made to the Wounded Warriors Project to help purchase golf and other equipment for recovery efforts towards wounded veterans in Iowa and throughout the country.
Molly never wavered from her loyalties to: family, friends, causes, her Yankees and Hawks, St. Ambrose Bees and Bett Bulldogs. She always fought for the underdog and fiercely defended her loved ones from those who may have attempted to do them harm or injustice.
