Molly J. Millbauer, 44, of Kennewick, Washington passed away at the Oregon Health and Science Center, in Portland, Oregon on the evening of November 22nd. In her forty-four years with us, she was wonderful daughter, a loving wife, an amazing mother, and a great friend. Molly was born on March 21, 1961 in Richland, Washington. She was a five time AAU Olympic Gold Medalist in Track and Field at nationals in her childhood and was nominated to the Junior Miss America Pageant. Molly graduated from Richland High School in 1979 and married her high school sweetheart in 1981. Molly gave birth to three children and stayed at home to raise them. She went on to volunteer for ten years at Sunset View Elementary, in Kennewick, Washington, where her children attended school. She was a part of the Sunset View Elementary P.T.O. where she served in various seats - including the president. She was loved by all of the staff, volunteers, and children, and she played a key role in bringing in new playground equipment. Molly served on the boards for the Kennewick National Youth Baseball league, the Kennewick Babe Ruth Organization, the Junior American Legion Kennewick Dusters, and the American Legion Twin City Titans. She was also active in her daughter’s softball league and teams. Molly loved to watch her children’s sports, and supported them in all of their endeavors. Molly went back to work at Ridgeview Elementary, in Kennewick, as a para-educator, where she was proud to be known as “Mrs. M” by the students. Her children will always remember their mom’s laugh as it gave them the feeling of happiness and security.
