Obituary of Olga Charlotte Moll

Olga Charlotte Moll, 88, passed away peacefully on January 1, 2013 at Douglas Manor in Windham, CT where she resided for the last ten months. She was the loving wife of John H (Jack) Moll. They were blessed with 54 years of marriage until Jack's passing in 2001. Olga was born on January 13, 1924, the third of five daughters born to Joseph and Mary Bencsetz of Alpha NJ. She graduated from Phillipsburg High School. She met Jack, her handsome sailor when he returned from the Pacific in 1946. They were married in a double ceremony with her older sister Madeline and Elwood Fahringer. The two couples remained especially close not only in proximity as they raised their families in Alpha, Phillipsburg and Harmony NJ, but as best friends, often vacationing together well into their retirement years. In 1986 Olga and Jack moved to Florida. In 2006 Olga moved to CT with her daughter and son-in-law. Family was the absolute joy of her life. She welcomed any opportunity to be together and simply have fun. Her warm, easygoing, and pleasant demeanor remained with her even in the end stages of her Alzheimer's disease. She always loved children and chose to care for others even when her own were grown. These relationships remained special to her throughout all her years. She was a consummate housekeeper, who still in her later years always wanted to tidy up and help in any way that she could. She adored music, sunshine, reading, corresponding, and especially dancing. She looked forward to gathering for worship services and praise music, most recently at the Congregational Church of Eastford, CT. Olga was a member of the Alpha (NJ) Presbyterian Church, where she taught Sunday school for many years, and the Cocoa Beach (FL) Community Church. She was predeceased by her three sisters Leona Bencsetz, Blanche (Lenke) Wilson and Madeline (Putyi) Fahringer. Olga leaves her loving family, including her sister Josephine (Honey) Hanlon, of South Patrick, FL, sons John (Jack) Moll Jr. and his wife Phyllis of Southbury, CT, and Gregory Moll of Dublin, VA, daughter Melissa Vincent and her husband Robert of Eastford, CT; four grandchildren, Nigel Vincent, Nathaniel Vincent, Tegan Ryan, and Tierney Moll; and four great grandchildren, Seamus, Ella, Dexter and Angus, and many dear in-laws, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. A memorial service will be held at the Congregational Church of Eastford, 8 Church Road, Eastford, CT on January 26, 2013 at 2:00 PM with a reception following.
