Mollus, Janet 1938-2025 St. Joseph, Mo.
Janet (Link) Mollus, 86, St. Joseph, passed away Monday, June 2, 2025. She was born Aug. 13, 1938, in St. Joseph, to Lawrence and Ida (Pryor) Link. She was a graduate of Central High School, where she was in the National Honor Society.
Janet found the love of her life in St. Joseph, David Mollus, and they were married on July 12, 1957. He survives of the home.
She worked at Bendix in Kansas City, then became a homemaker. Her family was her greatest accomplishment and her pride and joy. She loved being involved in every aspect of her children’s and grandchildren’s lives, including 20-plus years in the PTA.
Janet was a longtime member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which she joined in 1959 and was sealed at the Salt Lake Temple in 1961. Janet fulfilled numerous callings in the church, with the Relief Society being her favorite.
She loved to read – traveling the world in books — and was heavily involved in literacy efforts. She read to children in the schools, where she was called “Granny M.”
Janet could find beauty in everything. She loved going to garage sales and making old things new again. She loved people, especially children, and the children she looked after in her home became like her own children.
She was preceded in death by her parents; and brother, Roger Link.
Survivors include her husband of 67 years, David; her children, Karen Mollus (Lisa Pelofsky), Kelly Lowrance (Gregg), Eric Mollus (Tara), Steven Mollus (Janice), Benjamin Molllus (Melissa), Jeremy Mollus, Jill Morgan (Guy), Adam Mollus, Melinda Edwards (Jason), and Michael Mollus (Jovonna); 26 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; brother, Allan Link (Sherrie); sister-in-law, Connie Link; and numerous other extended family members and friends.
