Lois Mae Molitor

Lois Mae Molitor (Rodecap), 96, passed away on May 21, 2022 at her residence in Westfield, Indiana. Lois was born on January 29, 1926 in Auburn, Indiana to Ruth and Raymond Rodecap. She graduated from Auburn High School in 1944. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, John P. Molitor, son, John R. Molitor and brothers David, George, and Paul Rodecap.

Lois married John (Jack) on July 17, 1948 and she and Jack were able to celebrate their 72nd anniversary several months before his death in December of 2020. The Molitors lived in Kendallville, Indiana where they co-owned and operated Kendallville Hardware with John F. and Ferne Molitor. They relocated to Ft. Wayne in 1967, and later moved to Carmel to be closer to family.

Lois excelled as a supportive and dedicated wife to Jack and was a spectacular mother and friend to her children John and Nathalie. It was also rumored she was the world’s best Mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law, Nancy. She found special joy in spoiling and tirelessly worrying about her seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, all of whom lovingly called her Grandma Honey.

She is survived by her daughter Nathalie A. Fairfax of Westfield, daughter-in-law Nancy Molitor of Carmel, sister-in-law Patricia Rodecap of Auburn, grandchildren John Fairfax (Heather), Elizabeth Miller (Christopher), John Paul Molitor, Spencer Fairfax (Haley), Lauren Wintrode (Andy), Kathleen Molitor, and Daniel Molitor as well as multiple nieces and nephews.

A funeral mass will be held at Our Lady of Mount Carmel on July 29, 2022 at 4:30 pm. Following mass, family and friends are invited to gather in order to celebrate and honor the lives of Lois and Jack at Wood Wind Golf Club, 2302 W. 161st St., Westfield, IN.
