Mollie Ann Lane was born on July 15, 1952 in Kinston, Alabama to the late Willie Clarence Reed and the late Velma Ann Lane Taylor.
Mollie grew up in Kinston, Alabama and at a young age, she confessed her faith in the Lord. Early on she became a member of St. Stephens A.M.E Church. In 2000, she moved to Rochester, NY, where she became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ.
Mollie was a provider and mother figure to many in the Opp community. We believe her life mission was to serve others as she did until she wasn’t able to do so anymore. It is said that she raised the community, We; the family, have seen that just by the overflowing of love from the community since her passing.
During her life, Mollie served many roles. She worked in housekeeping most of her life and later started working at B&B Steakhouse in the early 90’s until she retired in 2007.
