Molly was always proud to be called a Coal Miner’s Daughter and “the Unsinkable Molly Brown.” She was very proud of her humble WV roots and her WV hills.

The best gift from Molly was a tin of her delicious cookies or fudge. At her home, there were always homemade sweets to share with visitors and strangers alike. A senior member of the Wilkinson Memorial United Methodist Church in Hometown, Molly loved singing in the choir, quilting with ladies of the church, and making candy for the church’s Christmas fundraisers. She also enjoyed church services in Pensacola. Molly cherished the many vacations she and her husband, Bill, spent at Lake Sherwood in Greenbrier County. She was known as the lady who knew how to catch the “big” fish. Molly was a very special West Virginia lady.
