Maryalice (Molly) Gladding

September 19, 1946 to August 14, 2021

After a six year fight with Endometrial Cancer, Molly finally succumbed.

Molly was born on Long Island, NY where she learned her love of the water & boating, but

she always thought of Florida as home.

She graduated from the University of Rhode Island where she was a member of the Chi

Omega Sorority. From there she completed a Dietetic Internship at New York

Presbyterian Hospital and became a registered Dietitian. She was a member of the

American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and served from 2006 to 2007 as the

President of the Florida Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Her last job was in the Palm

Beach County Health Dept. in the WIC (Women, Infants & Children) Program.

She enjoyed traveling, especially to do lighthouse hunting. She visited over 300

lighthouses across the US with her house mate and best friend of 40 years, Jo Ann

Donnelly. She loved cats and dogs and had many in her life. Molly was a fabulous cook

and crafts person. In her later years, she took up watercolor painting and did many of

wild birds.

During her lifetime she was loved by her brothers Thomas (Anne d.) Sanford (Barbara).

She was the beloved Aunt Molly to Laura, Thomas, Mary Lee , Scott, Sanford (Kristi), John

(Annie), and Jennifer Butticci (Mike) . She was a great Great- Aunt to Julia, Mitch, Mia,

Nick, Katie, Tyler, Lauryn Gladding and Grace and James Butticci.

She will be greatly missed by family and friends, especially Jo Ann.

Per her wishes there will be a small private service. In lieu of flowers donations may be

made in her name for Endometrial Cancer to the American Cancer Society.
