Mollie Raeanne Kabat

November 1, 1983 - June 14, 2020

Obituary

Mollie Raeanne Kabat, age 36, passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 14th, 2020.

Mollie was born November 1st, 1983 in Salt Lake City, Utah to parents Randy Durfee and Lee Ann Christy. After graduating from Lutheran High North in Houston, Texas, Mollie worked for many years in an administrative role for Shell Oil Company. Most recently Mollie lived in Federal Way, Washington and worked for FedEx International Sales.

“Sometimes I’ll start a sentence and I don’t even know how it is going. I just hope it finds a way.” – Michael Scott

Mollie embodied power, grace, wisdom, and wonder – she was our Wonder Woman. She loved the color purple, hated bananas, and was fiercely loyal to her loved ones. Her greatest achievement was becoming a mother, and she devoted all of her heart to her son Grady Kabat.

There are so many memories filled with her contagious laugh, and sharp sense of humor. She will be missed every moment of every day.

Mollie is survived by her parents Randy Durfee, Lee Ann and David Christy, and her son Grady Kabat. Sisters Elizabeth, Heidi and Emma, her niece Avery, nephew Dominic, and two loving dogs Candy & Penny.

Remember, the owls are not what they seem – and if the good Lord intended us to walk, he would not have invented roller skates. Shine your bright light as we send big hugs to you in heaven.

Mollie, I search for the words but they don’t come to me. There aren’t enough words to describe to what you mean to me. The only word that keeps coming back to me is love. You are surrounded by love, my love, your Mom’s love and the love of this family, always. Your love surrounds us. You are in my heart forever.

Oh Mollie- I will miss you being the first face I see each morning when we go back to the office. Your loyalty to our friendship meant the world to me, and you equally had mine. Your strength and devotion to Grady amongst adversity and challenges was truly admirable. You were beautiful inside and out and I love you dearly, Mollie my dear friend and confidant. May God bless and comfort Grady, your Momma, and your loved ones. – Always your loving friend, Miki (grady, i’m the xmas lifesaver book lady).

Hey Moll- I am sitting here trying to find a way to put into words what my heart is wanting to say.
I thank the Lord for giving me such wonderful friend; please go on knowing what a blessing you truly are.
I am also reminding Him how unfair it was to take you away from all of us.
I smile when I think of our coffee & drink dates, shopping, never ending text message, inside jokes, totally weird conversations, and the things we shared about our kids and family. Most of all the busting out laughing we did trying to make each other laugh- especially when the days were a little rough.
You always had such a big smile, warm hugs and a equally huge heart filled to the top with love & compassion. We appreciate every amazing quality you had.
Deanna, Gordon and I want you to know that you are so special to us and we love you dear friend.

We send our love to Grady, and the family. We pray that the Lord gives you all the strength to get through this together.
Much love, Angie Moon & Family

Mollie you where such a Wonder Woman. When I began working with you at FedEx you brought such a incredible uplifting spirit to our organization. Your constant daily support made everyone that came in contact with you more successful at work and happy in life due to the time you gave back to our days. The personal support you gave me and my family during some tough times over the past few years is invaluable and will always be in our memories. I will miss you and we will all be here to support Grady and family.

While I knew her briefly, she and I shared a deep love of all things Nerd. She was wonderful person who I am so lucky to have known, and I am positive everyone who knew her felt the same. While you will be missed, your presence will never leave us. So much love to all, and thank you for sharing yourself with us Mollie.
