Mrs. Bigelow was born March 31, 1917, in the original Hammond settlement, to parents, David and Lillian McDaniel.

She married D. Wilford Bigelow, March 30, 1935, and moved to Eagar, Ariz. Her first two children died in infancy, but her next two, whom she called her "boys," and an adopted daughter became her lifetime family.
She and her family moved to Morenci, Ariz., in 1943, where Wilford worked for Phillips Dodge Copper, as part of the wartime defense industry. In 1953, the family returned to Mollie's beloved San Juan River and Hammond area, and remained for the rest of her life.
She was a active and faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Her husband, Wilford; and two children, David Hulen and Valora, preceded her in death.
