Molly was born July 4, 1935, in Fowler, Colorado to Walter and Lena Fellhauer Sauer. Marlene was raised by Walter and Iva Sauer.
Marlene married Jim Petrie on October 10, 1958.
Molly happily spent her life as a wife, mother, and homemaker. Molly loved her family and her pets. She kept a spotless house and a beautiful yard. There wasn't a plant or flower that she couldn't grow. She was an avid bird-watcher and kept chickens, guineas, and peacocks. Molly enjoyed gardening, sewing, crochet, needlepoint, cross-stitch, and cake decorating. She was an amazing cook. She loved sending greeting cards and giving gifts to family and friends. She loved decorating her home at Christmas. She loved country music, especially the old songs by Ray Price.
Jim and Molly's granddaughter, Michelle Petrie Seaton, has written and recorded a song about Jim and Molly's loving commitment to each other through their 60 years of marriage.

Hi I was a nurse that cared for molly. Although I cared for when she was ill and recovering she was a gem. I could see the love she had for animals. She was calmed many times caring for her stuffed dog. Every night we came up with a new name for her. I could also see some of her spunkiness and sense of humor. Molly will always be in my heart. I am truly sorry for your loss.
