Remembering Helen Molina

Age 85, Washington
Passed away on April 3, 2020

Small in stature, Helen Molina had a big heart when it came to her family and Washington Huskies athletics.

“She was this little, tiny spitfire,” said Susan Weber, Molina’s oldest daughter and a former UW gymnast. “She didn't get into sports until late in life when she was in her 40s and started working in the UW sports department.

“Then she became the biggest fan. She was at all of my gymnastics meets, basketball, football and women’s soccer games. It was crazy. Right until the very end, she’d skip dinner dates with us because she wanted to watch some Husky rerun on TV that night.”

Ms. Molina died April 3 due to complications from COVID-19 and end-stage Alzheimer's disease.
