Molly was born in 2018 and was the sweetest, happiest baby. She would light up the room with her smiles and cheerful disposition. In 2019 she was diagnosed with a rare chromosomal abnormality called Angelman syndrome. Common symptoms of Angelman syndrome involve significant developmental delays, seizures, sleep disturbances, and lack of speech. A prominent characteristic of people with Angelman syndrome is happiness and plenty of smiles. Molly's family then worked with multiple agencies to get Molly all the support and services possible, over time Molly was making amazing progress when she unexpectedly passed away in her sleep in November of 2022. Molly Smiles Foundation was formed to support other families to navigate caring for a special needs child.
