Jacqueline Mollman

83, of Louisville passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 12, 2012 at The Episcopal Church Home. She was born on December 18, 1928 to Ross and Wilma Laney in Pittsburg, Kansas, and graduated from Canton High School, Canton, Illinois.  She met her husband of 62 years, Edward Mollman, at the University of Illinois, and together they raised five daughters.  Over the years, the family lived in Wood River, Illinois; Orono, Maine; Boston, Massachusetts; Chicago, Illinois; Bethesda, Maryland and Sun City Center, Florida.  Jackie made lifelong friends each place she lived.  The couple moved to Louisville in 2009 to be closer to family.

Jackie was known for her creativity, sense of humor and a love of reading, all of which she passed to her daughters and grandchildren.  She was seldom without a book.  While living in Washington, Jackie also volunteered at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum Library and the Bethesda Public Library.  Jackie, Ed and their children shared a keen enjoyment of travel. Their adventures included numerous independent trips to the UK, Europe and Canada as well as travel through most of the United States.

Jackie was preceded in death by her parents, Ross and Wilma Laney and her brother, Norman Laney.  She is survived by her husband of 62 years, Edward Mollman, daughters Meredith Parente, Carol Mollman, Jennifer Mollman, Katherine Waters, Elizabeth Behringer (Mark), and grandchildren Jeffrey Waters, Alexandra Waters, and Claire Behringer.

The family wishes to thank everyone at Sunrise Senior Living, and most recently, Jefferson Manor and The Episcopal Church Home for their wonderful care.
