Molly Gale Wilson, age 72, of Custer, SD, passed away Wednesday, October 27, 2010, at Custer Regional Hospital in Custer.

Molly was born April 9, 1938 in Laramie, WY, the daughter of William and Anita Pacot.

She married Robert Hendrickson in December 1956, where they were business partners in Custer. She and Gary Wilson were married in Custer by Bill Savery in February 1989. She took great joy in her photography. Her favorite subjects were her grandchildren, her pets, wild life, flowers in the spring and the changing colors in Spearfish in the fall. Her retirement days were filled with reading, scrapbooking, and embroidering gifts for newborns and newlyweds. Molly's greatest joy came from giving to others.

Molly is survived by her children with first husband, Robert Hendrickson; son, Thomas (Kris) Hendrickson of Lake City, FL; daughters, Kimble (Tom) Conwell of Custer; Kelly (Floyd) Leil of Pringle, SD; grandchildren, Jeremy Serfoss; Daniel and Hannah Hendrickson; Jesse, Jacob and Autumn Conwell and four great grandchildren.

Memorial services will be held at 10:00 a.m., Friday November 5, 2010 at Custer Community Church with Pastor Bill Savery and Pastor Bill Comfort officiating. Interment will follow at the Custer Cemetery.

A memorial has been established in Molly's name to benefit the Custer VFW.
