Molly has been an 80- year member of High Street United Methodist Church. She served faithfully in the adult choir for over 50 years. One of her fondest memories was joining many other choirs from the United States to sing John Rutter's Requiem at Carnegie Hall, NYC. This 400-voice choir was conducted by the English composer himself. Molly was also an original member of the High Street Handbell Choir from its inception, and played with them for 30 years. She was very involved in other church activities as well.
