November 8, 2020

Mary C. “Molly” Krolicki, age 90, of Wilmington, DE, passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 8, 2020. Molly was born in Wilmington, DE, to the late Patrick and Florence DeMasi. Molly married Edward “Pops” Krolicki in 1987. She retired from NVF in Wilmington, DE, in 1989. Molly enjoyed traveling and flying with Ed, who owned his own plane. They often went to Atlantic City and Wildwood. Molly and Ed loved to go on cruises and you would often find them dancing and playing shuffleboard at the VFW in Elsmere. Molly’s hobbies included sewing, playing cards, baking banana bread, and making pancakes for her grandchildren which earned her the nickname of Mom-Mom Pancakes. Whether Molly was going to the movies or the casinos, she loved being around family and friends – especially during the holidays or when celebrating special occasions. Molly will be greatly missed by so many but never forgotten – she will always be in our hearts. Molly is survived by her sons, Steven Emory (Loretta Braun) and Gene Emory (Denise); daughters: Denise Emrey (George), Felicia Lewandowski, and Connie White (JC); 16 grandchildren: Chad, Devynn, Shannon, Chrissie, Brodie, Adam, Karli, Christopher, Max, Stephen, Louis, Nathan, John, Jay, Jason, and Justin; family members, Tim Emory (Karen) and Dayne Wadkins (Billy); special friend, Darlene Poore; and a host of great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and extended family. She is also survived by a host of friends from her bingo and card playing Buddies at Chelten Apartments to friends made while at Gilpin Hall. Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Ed; and daughter, Regina “Sissy” Cartwright. A committal service will be held privately at Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Molly’s memory to your favorite charity. The family would like to thank the staff at Gilpin Hall for their compassionate care of Molly.
