Mary "Mollie" Elizabeth Mahoney

August 16, 1912 — March 27, 2010

Mary "Mollie" Elizabeth Mahoney, 97, long-time resident of La Grande, died March 27 at a local care center. At her request, no public service was held.

Mollie was born Aug. 16, 1912, in Pendleton. She was the third of seven children born to William and Inez Laing. She spent all of her life in Oregon, with the exception of less than a year in Centralia, Wash., during World War II.

She attended school in Pendleton, and married Dwight Mahoney there on Dec. 6, 1936. That union produced two children.

Mollie liked to garden and enjoyed watching the birds her gardening efforts enticed to her back yard. When young, she had a pleasant singing voice and she and her brother, Don, often entertained family and friends.

Survivors include her son, Michael of La Grande; and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Dwight; her daughter, Barbara; and four of her siblings.
