Mollie A. Hart

Mollie A. Crummett Hart Mollie Crummett Campbell Hart, 82, Paola, KS, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 28, 2013 at Life Care Center of Osawatomie, Osawatomie, KS. Mollie was born April 2, 1931 to Warren Knight Crummett and Fannie Schuetz Crummett, in Overland Park, Kansas. She was a 1949 graduate of Shawnee Mission Rural High School (now Shawnee Mission North). She married William Burns Campbell on June 30, 1950. To this union two children were born, Charlie and Julie. He preceded her in death. She married John Clifford Hart, December 30, 1960 and to this union two children were born, Nick, and Mike. He preceeded her in death. Mollie lived life fully and was known for her smile and her laugh -- which was infectious. As a mother with growing children, she was always the den mother, the Camp Fire leader, the Sunday school teacher, and the room mother. She was a homemaker until the younger two children were in middle school and then she went to work. She first worked for the Mid-States Oil Company in a secretarial position, and later worked for SRS in Osawatomie. After she and John retired, they sold their home in Kansas and bought a fifth wheel trailer and travelled from Mission, Texas in the winter, back to Mound City, Kansas for the fall and spring and to Idaho in the summer. When John"s health deteriorated they built a house in Mission, TX and lived there until 2009. Mollie was always the first to show up for any social event, from Bingo to Bunko, line dancing to quilting, she never wanted to miss out on the action. She could bake an apple pie that would melt in your mouth (as you can tell by her children"s robust builds). She loved to play Scrabble and any type of cards, but was a terrible winner and would brag for days about winning. Mollie was a tremendous quilter, and was very creative and inventive at picking the color and fabrics for her quilts. If she was lost in a group, all you needed to do was wait for her to laugh, and you had found her. She was in many organizations over the years including: Eastern Star, Missions Chairman at Paola United Methodist church, and was a member of the Miami County Quilt Guild and the Rio Grande Valley Quilt Guild. John passed away in 2009, and Mollie stayed in Texas for a year and then moved back to Kansas, where she lived with her daughter for a year in Olathe before moving into the Life Care Center of Osawatomie in 2011. She was predeceased by her three sisters: Betty Roberts, Joyce Macabe and Marjorie Wasson. Left to mourn her passing are her children Charlie Campbell (Paula), Julie Campbell, Nick Hart (Connie) and Mike Hart (Cary) and nine grandchildren and many nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews. Put on your dancing shoes Mom, your days of hurting are over. If we are quiet for a minute I think we can hear you laughing. Cremation. Memorial visitation will Tuesday, May 7 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Childrens Organs Transplant Assn. for Judy Hart, who suffers from cystic fibrosis, mail to Penwell-Gabel 305 N. Pearl Paola, KS 66071. Judy is a great-niece of Mollie"s. To share a memory of Mollie please click Share Memories button above.
