Born in Lancaster, PA, she was the daughter of the late Michael and Mary Anthofer.

After graduating from Lancaster Catholic High School, she dedicated her life to her family as a homemaker.

In her spare time, Molly enjoyed polka dancing at the Lancaster Liederkranz, collecting angels, cooking for family meals and watching old western movies. She also devoted her time taking care of others. 

She was a former member of St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church.  

She is survived by her four children, Colette Shay (wife of Thomas), Karen Guito, Joseph McNelis (husband of Stephanie) and Kelly Seidle (wife of Mike).  Also surviving are five grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and seven great-great-grandchildren.
