Inez Clara Davis Molock, 87

AIREYS, Md. - Inez Clara Davis Molock of Aireys departed this life Thursday, April 5, 2007, in Mallard Bay Care Center. She was 87.

Mrs. Molock was born Dec. 19, 1919, in Vienna, Md., daughter of the late Hattie Nutter and Edgar Davis.

She grew up on a small farm in the Vienna community and was educated in Dorchester County public schools.

Mrs. Molock was married to the late Russell Edward Molock for 51 years. Together they maintained a community store in Aireys, operated a small farm and other various businesses. During this time, she became a member of Christ United Methodist Church.

She was employed as a factory worker at different locations until her retirement; but her true calling was being a housewife and homemaker who enjoyed entertaining and cooking for others. Spending time with family and friends was her pride and joy. Her house was a home away from home when family from out of town came to visit. She had a passion for reading, reciting and memorizing poetry.

She resided at Mallard Bay Care Center in Cambridge, July 2002, after her health began to fail. During that time she developed a special friendship with her devoted roommate, Mrs. Geneva Burton.
