She would spend her life devoted to the education of young people. She worked for 25 years as a teacher at the Springtown Independent School District.

Mollie loved to travel, and in 2004, following her retirement, she traveled to several countries. She spent much of her spare time reading, making cross-stitch embroideries and crocheting, making many blankets for newborns in hospitals.

She was a member of Messiah Lutheran Church in Weatherford.
