Born August 31, 1922, in Tacoma, Washington, her family relocated to Watertown, Connecticut, and made their home at the Taft School where her parents became staff members.

I worked with Molly at Curran-Morton Advertising in the 60’s. I was Ken Morton’s secretary. I was in my 20s. At the time, I felt I knew so little and Molly knew so much. She was a friend, mentor, and one of the reasons, I became an English teacher and eventually a college professor. I think what I remember most about Molly is that she was always asking me questions. Did I know this? Would I like to know that? I always hoped that some day I would know as much as she did, but, of course, I haven’t yet accomplished that. Although I haven’t seen Molly since the 60’s, I never forgot her. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Cecilia Torres Best
