Mrs. Behnke was a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Sheboygan.

Until very recently, Molly was able to tend to her flowerbeds and relish the beauty that they gave her.

Survivors include a son and daughter-in-law, Kenneth and Joyce Behnke of rural Kiel; a grandson, Kenneth Jr. (Lori) Behnke of Kiel and their children, Felicia, Natasha, Elizabeth and Benjamin; a granddaughter, Jacquelyn (Stephen) Burmesch and their children, Curtis, Amalia, Lillyan, Mileana and Eliza, all of Fredonia; and other family members.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her sister, Marie Ehlert.

Funeral services will be held 6:00 p.m. Tuesday at Ballhorn Funeral Chapels. The Rev. Alan Kretschmar, pastor of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, will officiate. Burial will take place in Lutheran Cemetery. A time of visitation and support will be held from 4 p.m. until the time of service Tuesday at Ballhorn Chapels.

A memorial fund has been established in her name.
