She was the second of two children of Theresa (Button) Boehm and Laurence Boehm. Mollie spent her childhood living in Kansas City, Missouri and McMinnville, Oregon. Over the years Mollie shared early childhood stories of roller skating through her Kansas City neighborhood, attending Gladstone Elementary, and riding in Pullman cars on family train trips out to Oregon. Mollie, her older sister Terry, and their mother moved to McMinnville, Oregon when Mollie was in the fourth grade. As a teenager and young adult, Mollie enjoyed acting in plays, climbing mountains (Mt. Hood, and Mt. St. Helens, among them), and attending Linfield College.

Mollie retired after 40 years working for the Social Security Administration in field offices in Oregon, Indiana, and Maryland. She spent many years as a volunteer docent at the Baltimore Museum of Art. In retirement Mollie enjoyed travelling all over the world, learning French and the dulcimer, taking many drawing, painting, and ceramics classes, singing in the choir, and caregiving for her two grandchildren.
