MARY SUE MOLLENHAUER
Iowa Falls
Mary Sue Mollenhauer of Iowa Falls, formerly of Marion, daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and dear friend, went to be with Jesus on Sunday Dec. 2, 2018, at the age of 80.
Mary always knew the perfect way to make a bold statement or calm a room with the sweep of her hand. She was an amazing storyteller, hugger, baker, hymn singer, quilter and tea party planner; and she cherished adventures and moments with family and friends. Until we see her again, "Be careful and walk with Jesus."
Surviving her are husband, Merl Mollenhauer; children, Jill (John) Meier and Sara (David) Hampe; brothers, Tom Ferguson, Charlie Ferguson and Jack Ferguson; sisters, Delores Zieser, Laura Pollock, Lila West, Carol Johnson, Nancy Panther and Marcia Deyen; and grandchildren, Hannah Anderson, Jesse (Shelby) Anderson, Daniel Hampe, Lydia Hampe and Emma Hampe.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Glen and Gladys Ferguson; and brothers, Marshall Ferguson and Ronald Ferguson.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
Memorials can be made to The Rivers Edge, 204 College Ave., Iowa Falls, IA 50126; Community Baptist Church of Marion, 3290 Ninth St., Marion, IA 52303; or North Central Hospice, 232 Second St. SE, Mason City, IA 50401.
