1937 to 2011


Molly passed away peacefully on April 25, 2011, at Boundary Hospital at Grand Forks, B.C., at the age of 74. Molly was born on March 7, 1937, to John and Lucy Zarikoff at Blewett, B.C. She was a sister to John and Bill Zarikoff. In October of 1960 she married Pete Makortoff and together they had three sons: Sheldon, Kerrick and Corey. In September of 2006 she became a Baba to her only grandson, Cayman. She was so proud. The love she had for her little grandson was just beyond words and she had said that he was the light of her life.

She was the most incredible Mom, Mon-in-law and Baba. Her love for us was unconditional and we will never forget her. She will very much be missed but we will continue to have her living in our hearts forever as her love will always surround us. The footprints she left in our lives are ones that can never be washed away.

A celebration of life was held for Molly on May 7, 2011, at the Makortoff residence in Grand Forks. Molly leaves behind immediate family: Sheldon, Kerrick, Corey and wife Trish, and her precious grandson, Cayman. Grand Forks Funeral Home was in care of arrangements.
