Peacefully on Saturday, May 1, 2021 we lost our beloved Molly in her 90th year.

Predeceased by the love of her life, her husband Hugh, almost to the day eighteen years ago. Molly will be missed by her sons, Andrew (Grace), John (Lynda), her grandchildren Christopher, Patricia (Kyle), her many relatives in her native Scotland, her dear friends and her coworkers from a long career at the Bay.

Molly, we will all miss your smile, laughter, guidance, and love. You will be with us always.

Thank you to the staff at The Wenleigh LTC home in Mississauga and the Etobicoke General Hospital 7th floor neurology department for your kind and compassionate care.

If desired, as expressions of sympathy donation’s to either Heart & Stroke or The Kidney Foundation of Canada would be sincerely appreciated by the family in lieu of flowers.

Due to Covid restrictions, the funeral service will be a private family affair.

Molly was actually my "mom" longer than my real mom. Molly was very different than my own mother, she was a very straightforward, no nonsense kind of person but she was always there for me and we had some great times together. We worked together at The Bay for years on the fragrance counter where I was the Chanel girl and we had a great time there together. We enjoyed some great girl time going for lunch and she really enjoyed her martini, straight up with olives. We had some fun doing afternoon tea as well, we had hoped to get one in for her 90th birthday but we just didn't quite get to that in time. Molly really did enjoy a good laugh and there were times we would be crying, we were laughing so hard. She really loved our little pugs and they loved her, they really cracked her up. One thing she really helped me through was a conversation and decision I had to make when my sister was hospitalized. I was in turmoil and Molly kept me sane as I drove to the hospital to make a life and death decision in regards to Joyce's life. I will forever be grateful for that conversation. Molly I love you and you will forever be in my heart and mind.
