Molly Carolyn Doan

Born June 19, 1933, to Claude and Vivian Moon, she joined an older sister Francis. Molly grew up in Gridley, Ca., attending Gridley schools, and then Yuba College. In 1953, she met and married Pete Doan, a young man stationed nearby, while he was in the service. Their young family grew in those early years, resulting in four children, Duane, Kathleen, Julie, and Paul. As Pete worked for the Bank of America, transfers and moves occurred frequently, with them residing in Yuba City, Gridley, Woodland, and Dixon, Ca. While in Woodland, Molly worked at the County Courthouse. Settling in Dixon, the kids were raised. Molly worked for Ron Dupratt  Ford as their bookkeeper. Lifelong friendships were forged while in Dixon. In 1976, the family moved to Escondido Ca., where Molly worked many years for Quality Chevrolet, until she retired. In 2005, Pete and Molly moved to Boise Idaho, joining their son and his family. Subsequently, Kathy and Paul followed to Boise with their families. Julie and her family purchased a home in Boise, spending large portions of the years to be near family.

Molly joins her husband of 58 years, Pete, along with son Paul, in the afterlife. If there is a heaven, she is well qualified for membership. Survivors include son Duane (Nancy) Doan, daughter Kathleen (Ron) Marr, and daughter Julie (Rick) Sylvestri. She leaves eleven grandchildren, and sixteen great grandchildren.
