Molly loved her job at St. Mary Corwin Hospital. She also enjoyed working in the schools with the kids in District 60. She was also involved in social and charitable projects with the GI Forum. Molly was an active member of The St. Leanders Catholic Church. Molly loved to travel all over, especially with her brothers and sisters. When they got together they loved to reminisce about the old days. The best stories are told by the Alvarado’s! She loved the Denver Broncos to the end and sometimes loved the Colorado Rockies when they were winning. If you ever played cards with her, you know it was going to be Martinez rules so she could win! Actually, she loved to watch all kinds of sports because of her competitive spirit. We knew never to call her during the games, only during commercials or halftime. And don’t bother calling during her Novelas! We will forever miss her homemade breakfasts, her funny jokes (that she laughed at the most) and her delicious tortillas. There is such a closeness and love among the family today, so many hearts of gold. With Molly’s passing our hearts are broken. Funeral services will be held in Pueblo, Colorado. Viewing and Memorial will be held in the Chapel at Imperial Funeral Home, Tuesday, January 2, 2018 at 12:30 pm followed by a service at 2 pm. Online condolences go to www.imperialfunerals.com
