Marlene Theresa Boever was born on March 27, 1942 to Herman and Lillian (Niichel) Boever in Remsen. She was raised in the Remsen area and graduated from Remsen St. Mary's High School.

Molly worked at Archie's Waeside for many years in various positions. As a bartender, when she saw a regular customer walk into the bar, many times she would have their favorite drink in front of them before they even sat down.

Many of her customers become her best friends. When she retired, she was able to really enjoy and cherish those friendships.

Her generosity towards family and friends was unparalleled. She was always paying for meals, giving gifts, expressing her concerns and donating to numerous charities.

She was a member of St James Parish and an avid fan of the Chicago Cubs.

Molly is survived by two sisters, Becky (Dean) Norris of Arcadia, CA and Judy (Bill) Pover of Peosta, IA; two brothers, Jim (Phyllis) Boever of Davenport, IA  and Tom (Mary Ann) Boever of Dubuque, IA; and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.

Molly was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Maurice, Donald, Pat and Boniface; sisters, Marge Willcoxson, June Schlitz, and Mary Lee Lange; sister-in-law, Fern Boever, Marce Boever, Karen Boever; and brothers-in-law, Bob Willcoxson, Rich Schlitz and Earl Lange; and numerous nieces and nephews.
