Molly Moses Flamholtz

Molly Moses Flamholtz of Riverdale, NY, died November 4, 2010. She was 93.
Born in New York City, Molly spent her childhood and teenage years in Lake Huntington. She was a graduate of the Narrowsburg School. After moving back to NYC, she met and married her lifelong partner, Sol. Together they raised two sons, William and Howard, while running the family trucking business. Molly, a homemaker along with her husband, donated a great deal of her time to organizations such as the Coalition for Hearing Education and Research (CHEAR), Grand Street Boys Association and The Knights of Pythias.
Molly took great pleasure in telling stories of the past. She loved to reminisce with family and friends, sharing memories of life growing up in the country with her three brothers Willie, Izzy and Artie and sister Eva. She especially loved time spent swimming and ice skating on Lake Huntington. Countless stories were shared about her family's life centered around their butcher shop, in which she took much pride. The home in Lake Huntington became a gathering place for the extended family throughout the years.
Molly lived through the tragic and untimely deaths of both her sons: William, a successful businessman, who lost his life to cancer at age 41 and Howard, an Air Force Vietnam Veteran and long time truck driver, who died at the age of 50. She was also predeceased by her husband Sol in 1999.
Molly is survived by her sister Eva; daughters-in-law, Sharon and Sandy; her four grandchildren: Seth, Daniel, Lisa and Dawn; three great-grandchildren: Billy, Morgan and Hailey; and several nieces and nephews. Very close to her were nieces Karen, Michelle and Audrey; and nephew Solly.
