She was born in Lubbock Texas on February 26th, 1928, to the late Louis and Mary Pinkston. She graduated from Vernon High School, and attended Texas Tech University, where she met and married James Lee Hollar, in Vernon Texas. Soon after marriage, they moved to Borger Texas, and over the next 14 years, had 6 children. Molly was a consummate mother, focusing all of her energy on her family, providing a home full of enrichment, creativity, and unconditional love. Additionally, she influenced her family and others throughout her life, to make nutrition a priority. She also gave to her community, by developing childhood programs at the First Methodist Church in Borger Texas, teaching Red Cross swimming lessons, and later, infant and toddler swimming in Arlington, Texas, where the family moved in 1969. After her children were grown, she spearheaded the creation of the Wildscape at Veteran's Park, which now bears her name, The Molly Hollar Wildscape. She worked, tirelessly, leading volunteers in the installation and maintenance of native plants on 5 acres. The Wildscape serves as a demonstration for the community in the use of native plants, organic gardening methods, and water conservation. She received numerous awards from local, state, and federal conservation organizations.
