✞Patricia Molen, 86, passed away on Jan. 17, 2024. She was born in the suburbs of Buffalo, New York, to working class parents during challenging times. She was the eldest of four children and with 13 years between her and the next eldest, she spent many of her teen years helping care for her three siblings. 

Pat moved with her parents in 1951, to Southern California where she later graduated from high school and, somewhat serendipitously, met the love of her life, Jerry Molen. Shortly after their marriage in 1954, Jerry was shipped off for a 10-month tour in the Marine Corps. While overseas, Jerry demonstrated his absolute devotion with daily letters to his young bride. Their life was a perfect picture of unconditional love, sacrifice and commitment. They were married for almost 70 wonderful years.

Pat had a varied career as she worked as a bank teller, office clerk, and was a licensed realtor for 10 years. She was also entrepreneurial and responsible for starting and operating three businesses in the local Flathead area. She enjoyed sewing, roller skating, bowling, tennis, swimming, ping pong, golf, tending her garden, and traveling. 

She was active in many nonprofit organizations and was very active with church assignments. She loved helping others and will be remembered for her sweet spirit, warm smile, and her caring heart. 

Her husband's career in the entertainment business allowed her to travel all over the world and she thoroughly loved learning about other cultures and seeing iconic sights. She loved the excitement that came from sharing in the role she and Jerry played in the business of "Hollywood" and the many films they were involved with.

Above all, Pat's priority and passion was her family. She was a cherished and devoted wife, a loving mother, a doting grandmother and great-grandmother. She was a strong, independent woman and she exuded a grace and kindness that made a permanent impression on all those who knew and loved her.

She is survived by her husband, Jerry; son, Steven (his wife Julie); son-in-law, Steve; grandchildren, Bryan, Sarah (her husband Sam), BreeAnn and Austin; great-grandchildren, Emma, Hannah, Kaitlyn, Jacob, Meghan, Jackson and Ezra; brother, Bob; and sister, Beth; her beloved cousin, Betty (her husband Bob); and many special friends.

✞Jeffery Scott Mallaber, aka “Jeffie Baby”, left this world on November 2, 2021.  His battle with glioblastoma has finally ended, and he is free of pain and confusion as he happily takes his place in the beautiful realm of Heaven. Jeff was born on November 10th, 1958, in Washington, D.C., to Clayton Ward Mallaber and Marilyn Behe Mallaber. Jeff leaves behind his wife of 40 years, Allison Mallaber, of Waterford, Vermont.  They met long ago at their place of work, Wonder Bread & Hostess Cake of Ocala, Florida. Jeff was smitten right from the first introduction to Allison, and Allison was head-over-heels for Jeffie. Jeff also leaves behind his three daughters, Elizabeth Bonasera (and husband Nate), Olivia Drechsel, son-in-law Christian Drechsel, all of Littleton, Colorado, and Alicia Mallaber of St. Johnsbury, Vermont. Nine grandchildren are now left without a Papa.  From oldest to youngest, they are Jacob (JJ), Zoe, Samantha, Lana, Jadalynn, Julius, Jace, Isabelle, and Josephine (Josie).  Jeff loved being a Papa, buying gifts, giving horsie-rides, reading books, and appropriately spoiling the grandchildren as only a Papa can do.  He even introduced them to his invented gyrating, 2-fingered personality, “Captain Voot”!

Many relatives are mourning the loss of Jeff.  His sister Julie Judy and her husband Ernie, Danielle and Chris Waymire, Krystal and Rod Cumbus, George and Diana Oram, James Oram, Dori and Bill Nanry, all of Florida, and Bev Doherty of Bedford, NH, many, many cousins, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews. Jeff was preceded in death by his son-in-law Jacob Mercer of California, his mother and father, Marilyn and Clayton Mallaber, and mother-in-law Elaine Oram Cornett, of Florida, and brother-in-law Dan Doherty of New Hampshire.

Although Jeff graduated from Florida State University with a degree in Criminal Justice, his real passion was for medicine. He attended the University of Colorado Health Sciences College, and earned a degree as a Physician Assistant. Jeff's love of medicine and helping people was where he shined. He spent almost 13 years working for Urology Associates in Denver, Colorado, and almost two years with The Rocky Mountain Men's Health Clinic before being diagnosed with glioblastoma. 

Hiking in the Rocky Mountains with his family was an activity Jeff enjoyed.  He spent time with his many dogs over the years, and even some cats.  Jeff learned to love his wife's goats, sheep, chickens, and especially horses.  His golf score never improved to competition level, but he did have a mean swing, and often played in the Denver area.  He loved working out at the gym, swimming in oceans, lakes, and pools, and was known as “Runs With A Beer” after a close encounter with a shooter in a downtown Denver bar. Whether fishing in the ocean or a lake, Jeffie Baby could brag about his catches of enormous, toothy, man-eating fish with the best-of-them.

Jeff's generosity was a beautiful thing!  He donated money to many charitable causes, and also took a personal interest in helping people in dire financial straits to pay their rent, buy groceries, and obtain much needed vehicles.  Jeff's generosity was legendary. Jeff Mallaber is already greatly missed.  If you have any stories about Jeff you'd like to share, please send them to Jeff Mallaber  c/o 131 Lee Farm Road, St.  Johnsbury, Vermont 05819. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to GoFundMe,  “Jeff Mallaber's battle with brain cancer” or to “Spay Today” in Lakewood, Colorado.

Nadene graduated high school in Anchorage, Alaska, and lived in many states during her life including New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Arizona, California, North Carolina and Kansas. She worked in insurance most of her adult life in both regional and agency offices. She was an active member of Paola Christian Church and helped in many ministries there. She worked for a time as a delivery driver for Meals on Wheels, and then later at the Senior Center in the kitchen. She was a foster parent for lost animals with Hope, and she rescued many animals through that program. Her husband and son are Masons, and she would make deserts for the Paola Masonic Lodge on a regular basis.

A few years ago she went on vacation and traveled Europe. She went to see the Weeping Lion in Switzerland as this had been a lifelong dream of hers. She had traveled to every state except Hawaii. Nadene loved to read and almost always had a book or her Kindle with her. She started sewing at a very young age and made doll clothes out of scrap material by hand and then learned how to use a sewing machine. She would often drag her daughter and granddaughters to material stores so she could touch each bolt of fabric. She crocheted many things, but doilies were her favorite to do, and she had just learned how to knit. She loved to do crafts of any kind, and wasn’t afraid to try a new one. She did all of the flowers for her daughter and then later her granddaughters weddings.

Nadene surprised her family by becoming an organ donor later in her life. The family is very happy that her life will continue on in others.

Nadene was called home by her Lord and Savior May 15, 2016. She will be missed by her family, her lifelong friends, and all of the people that she was able to help during her life. She was a sister, a wife, a mom, and a Granny all rolled into one. We love you!

✞July 10, 1953 - May 17, 2011 OKLAHOMA CITY Anne Marie Miller Cook, went to be with her Lord on May 17, 2011 in Oklahoma City. She was born to Lester Laverne Miller and Bettye Kathryn Nichols Miller in Dallas, Texas on July 10, 1953. Her last days were brightened by the personal and professional attention of hospice nurse Angela Nicholson.

Anne was a graduate of Classen High School, attended college and business college for two years and was an Air Force veteran. She held several professional positions in management and sales and, most recently, served for five years as Administrative Assistant in the Parking Services Department at the University of Oklahoma. Her record in parking operations at OU home football games was 31 wins no losses. 

She met Davern Lee Cook at Blackwood Business College in Oklahoma City and they were married on September 20, 1975 in Lester and Bettye's home in Oklahoma City, with Davern's father, Eli Cook, presiding. They were married for 35 years and had three children, Jason Lee Cook, Jacquelynn Anne Cook French and Travis Lee Hoelscher. She accepted Christ in her life through the ministry of Nate Cook, her nephew, Pastor of the Community Church of the Nazarene.

Anne was a Master Gardener, whose lawn and yard always reflected her love of bright colors and beautiful flowers. She was the glue of the family, organizing extended family reunions and preparing birthday and holiday dinners renowned for their flavor and abundance. Every such event was topped off by one or more of her homemade fruit pies (her best were cherry and rhubarb) for which she was a family legend. On her favorite days she hosted such a feast at the Cove on Lake Arbuckle, with parents, brothers, sisters, children, nieces and nephews fishing, swimming, laughing, enjoying the feast and each others's company. Supposedly there is always room for jello, but that was NOT true after Anne's holiday dinners.

Anne was preceded in death by her sister, Gayle Patricia Miller and her father, Lester. She is survived by her husband Davern Cook, her mother Bettye, her brothers Fred Luther Miller, Dick Warren Miller and Paul Roy Miller, daughter Jackie, sons Jason and Travis, grandchildren Ava Jolie Cook (daughter of Jason and Sara Elizabeth Cook), Aidan Joshua French and Jenna Renee French (children of Jackie and Clive French).

A memorial service will be held Saturday, May 21, at 10:00 AM at Community Church of the Nazarene, 10200 S.E. 15th Street, in Midwest City, Oklahoma.

Interment was in Glenwood Cemetery.

✞Bettye Kathryn Nichols Miller passed away on September 13, 2012 in Eugene, Oregon. She was born to Luther Thomas Nichols and Lola Alice Burns Nichols in Fort Smith, Arkansas on July 8, 1920.

Bettye was a graduate of Classen High School and attended the Oklahoma College for Women and Oklahoma State University. She taught at business schools in Oklahoma City, but most of her professional life was spent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, where she began work as a stenographer and ended her career as Supervisor of the Stenographic Pool, one of the most senior FBI positions available to women at that time.

She met Lester Laverne Miller in Albuquerque in April 1945 and they were married on September 16th of that year in Oklahoma City. They were married for 65 years and had five children, Gayle Patricia Miller, who died shortly after birth, Fred Luther Miller, Dick Warren Miller, Anne Marie Miller Cook and Paul Roy Miller. She was a member of Grace United Methodist Church in Oklahoma City, where she and Les treasured the congregation and its music ministry.

Bettye was a modern working mother before her time. As a wife, she was Lester's strong life partner in a journey that started with a whirlwind courtship in Albuquerque, and a frozen fishing trip honeymoon in New York which set the stage for a 65 year marriage that was a model for all of us. As a mother, she balanced the demands of work, baseball, basketball, softball and football games, clubs, church and social activities all without a microwave. Her collection of crock pot dinner and casserole recipes was legendary. As a professional, she worked for the FBI in Washington, El Paso and Oklahoma City, where she served on the field office management team. She also served on the FBI team investigating the Kennedy assassination in Dallas. At a time when being a professional woman was fraught with difficulties and obstacles; she handled them all with grace, fairness, firmness and strength.

Bettye was a lifelong sports fan who especially enjoyed baseball games as well as Oklahoma State and Dallas Cowboy football games. She watched baseball with a scorecard and claimed that the reason she married Les was that he took her to baseball games. If there had been opportunities for girls to play sports when she was young, she would have been an avid softball player. She would also have enjoyed natural advantages in any sport where she could use her sharp elbows on opponents and sharp tongue on officials.

Bettye's natural curiosity, desire to learn, and incredible sense of humor never ceased. Despite being affected by dementia in her later years she always challenged herself mentally. Bettye never quit trying to be better and never complained about the difficulties she encountered.

Her sharp wit remained intact and her love of family was an inspiration to all. Bettye's last year was spent at Sheldon Park Memory Care Unit in Eugene, Oregon. She earned the respect and love of all her caregivers who quickly realized that the way to her heart was feeding her chocolate and coffee.

Bettye loved the outdoors and especially enjoyed being near water. Though a legendary fishing experience on her honeymoon soured her on that pastime, she loved swimming, boating and picnicking by lakes. She and Les toured the country extensively, particularly enjoying the beauty of national parks in the American West. Bettye especially looked forward to her annual trips to Las Vegas with her sister Margaret. Together, they would do their best to improve the Las Vegas economy and in the process thoroughly enjoyed each other's company. Those were special times for both of them.

Bettye was preceded in death by her husband Lester Miller; her brother Robert Nichols; and her daughters Anne Marie Miller Cook and Gayle Patricia Miller.

She is survived by her sister Margaret Kocher; sons Fred, Dick and Paul; grandchildren Joshua Gillespie Miller, Lester Carr Miller, Jessica Jordan Miller, (children of Fred and wife Linda Gillespie Miller), Kevin Roy Miller and Alexis Joyce Leighann Miller Henderson (children of Dick and wife Lindsey Nellie Paula Shuster Miller), Jason Lee Cook and Jacquelynn Anne Cook French (children of her daughter Anne and husband Vern Lee Cook) and Gary Simer and Rodney Robertson (sons of Paul and wife Donna Simer); and great grandchildren Luther Miller, Victor Miller, Julian Miller, Alexander Miller, Lucy Henderson, Ava Cook, Aidan French, Jenna French, Avery Simer, Grace Simer and Braden Robertson.
