I was fortunate enough to work with Molly when I was at Canadian Heritage and she was working alongside Parks Canada. She was a funny, lovely woman who was passionate about her work. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing, and I send my condolences to her family, friends, and all who loved her.

|My deepest condolences to the family|! I meet Molly many years ago during our Tourism days. We had a lot of laughs and she taught me so much, her ghost stories and deep knowledge of the St. John River will forever be remembered. Our conversations were always delightful, her kindness and loving attitude was contagious. Hugs Melanie Clark

My deepest condolences to all of the family and friends that I know Molly held so dear. I was fortunate to have worked very closely with Molly over many the years on the Wolastoq, that beautiful river that she championed as few others could. I will never forget the passion, joy, and fearless determination she brought to her work, and most of all her unique ability to bring people together. I learned so much from her, in work and life, and her impact on the health of the river and its people will be felt far, far into the future.
With Love,
Graeme Stewart-Robertson

My heart is full of sadness with this loss and my deepest condolences are shared. To her family and friends, please know my thoughts are with you today and for many days ahead. I believe the spirit lives on long after the body, and this is certainly true of Molly. I am privileged to have worked with her studying the Wolastoq and I will never forget her passionate energy for this work, the kindness she showed me, and of course the cookies and tea (ie meetings hehe)! May you find the peace you need. Sincerely with much love, Jamylynn

Dear Pascal and all of Molly's family, we join you in mourning the loss of a truly wonderful person. We first met Molly when she moved in next door to us on Charlotte Street in the 1990's. She was vibrant, outgoing, and a friend to everyone in the neighbourhood. We have watched her progress in a career which seemed ideally suited to her many strengths and interests. Know that the whole community is feeling the loss of her positive energy. Thinking of you with deepest sympathy.
Suzanne and John Webster and family

Molly really was a special person. Just so much energy and joy. And chocolate chip cookies. Yep, Monday Night Films at UNB, and if Molly was there, I knew I was going to get a cookie (maybe even two). Always loved working with her and just seeing her. Can't believe she is gone.

Molly was a witch in the kitchen, in a good way. I remember sitting in her kitchen one time when she pulled out a pan of "burnt" cookies from the oven. "They are ruined!" she said. I tried one, and said "I'll take the ruined cookies anytime, this is delicious!". From then on, a small bag of "ruined" cookies appeared at our door every once in a while. We'll miss you.

Dimity,Tom,Josh, Pasquel and family, I was so sad to hear of Molly's passing. I can see her at age 11 running ahead of the gang - kids and dogs telling everyone to come, come see the river. It was the best of times and showed us all exactly how Molly to grow as a leader, friend and bright spirit. Leslie Reid

Missing this beautiful, cheerful, friendly, dedicated human already! But she will always be in my heart. She was one of the first people I met when I moved to New Brunswick and nobody welcomes people like Molly. She loved her life, her family, friends and work and it is a privilege to be her River sister. Love you forever Molly! My deepest condolences to the family.

I never had the opportunity to meet Molly, but frequently heard her name over the years from my sister, Heather, who was in her book club. I know Molly will be deeply missed by her book club girls. Sending love, light and peace as you begin to grieve Molly’s immense loss.

Molly and I met several years ago when I began doing work on the Wolastoq/St. John River. I was immediately struck by her kind and genuine nature, and we soon became ‘girlfriends’. Although we didn’t see each other often, every chat, text, or meeting was filled with warmth and optimism. Molly knew that river from top to bottom, and her passion was contagious.
Knowing Molly was a gift. Thinking about how special she made me feel, I’ve come to realize that she made everyone she knew feel that way. A bright light is shining over the Wolastoq tonight.
Sending my heartfelt condolences to all who knew and loved her, especially her family.

Tom, Dimity, Pascal, Sophie, Sam and Godparents Debbie and Peter.
Losing Molly from our world is an enormous loss to all of you and her larger community.
We were fortunate to visit her briefly this summer and experience that big smile/laugh, sparkling eyes and energetic strut. She remained positive to the end.
We have known Molly since she was a wee one and got to see her become a wife, extraordinary mother and advocate in her community and her work.
You left us too soon but I will look up to the stars and remember the joy and 'can do' attitude you shared with us all.
With deep care and condolences.
Mary and Padraig

Deepest condolences to Molly's husband Pascal and kids Sophie and Sam.
I've known Molly for almost a decade, through work and outside of work.
Most recently, I ran into Molly in October 2021, we were both coming out of the hospital and this is where we discovered that we had both been diagnosed with breast cancer.
I was scared, shaken and felt my world rocked in a major way, but after a long hug, Molly said, " You got this, you are stronger than you know it" . It was so uplifting to me after a couple of weeks of being shell shocked.
Molly helped me see a small ray of sun in what had been a very dark sky.
But that was Molly; no BS and a very straight dhooter.
I will always remember Molly's exuberance and unfailing positivity.
Rest easy in the sunlight, dear Molly.

Molly and I met when we were children, and she used to come to town to visit our neighbours. She was always fun and interested in everything, and I loved her visits. We reconnected as adults and it was lovely to be in touch again. Molly was kind, thoughtful, enthusiastic, and always keen to have a deep conversation. It is hard to believe that she is gone.
My thoughts are with her family and friends.

Sending prayers for courage during these difficult times. Chantal and Seb and Nic.

Molly was the wetland education coordinator at the Ducks Unlimited Canada interpretive centre in Fredericton in the 1990’s when I first met her. She enthusiastically developed the programming and delivered it with flair as part of our national education team. Always outgoing, enthusiastic and upbeat she was a great spokesperson for wetland conservation and a joy to work with.
In later years, even after I retired, we remained friends and I enjoyed her many posts on social media. I was pleased that recently she was able to take a wonderful family vacation to Europe. We shared a love of BC, Hawaii and the Amalfi Coast of Italy. It was shocking news to learn today that she had succumbed to cancer. Sadly something else our families have in common.
I am privileged to have known Molly and wish her family and friends sincere condolences. Rest In peace Molly.

I *think* I first met Molly when I lived on Argyle Street and she was walking the block with a fussy newborn Sophie while I was in front of my house with a fussy three-month-old Adam. Our daily routes went past each other's houses, so over the years we all lived in the West Platt there were many conversations, almost always including lots of laugther, mostly outside one of our houses as the dogs and kids played. Her laugh was infectious and I loved listening to her stories. As we all moved away from downtown our meetings became less frequent, but running into Molly was always a joy. In more recent years I rarely saw her in person, but enjoyed seeing the part of her life that played out on Facebook. I heard she had been sick, but was foolishly reassured by all the travel picks of a healthy, happy looking Molly. She clearly had an incredible group of very close friends, family and coworkers, but there are so many more people whose lives she touched positively. My heart goes out to Pascal, Sam, Sophie and all who loved Molly.

To Pascal, Sam & Sophie: I had the pleasure of working with Molly through our association with the St John River Society and the Lower River Passage. She was, in her words, my River Sister. She was passionate about her river, knowledgeable about her history, enthusiastic about her community, and fiercely proud of her family. She will be missed beyond measure to everyone who knew her. Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss.
