Our warrior Nancy M. Molinari (Baby B) passed away on August 13th, 2022 at the age of 60, after battling breast and bone cancer for over 13 years. (https://tesseraonlaketravis.com) She was predeceased by her father Kenneth Zollweg, her brother Larry “Skip” Zollweg, and her favorite dogs Duchess and Moe.
She is survived by her mother Louise Zollweg, her husband Robert “Bob” Molinari, her daughter Megan Molinari (Amber Shechter) her son Kenneth “Zeke” Molinari, her sister Janice Colf (Jeff Colf), her sister Diane Kaltenbach (David Kaltenbach), her brother Steven Zollweg, and her many nieces and nephews.
Nancy was born in Rochester on September 10, 1961 and graduated from Fairport High School. She worked at Waste Management for 20+ years and made dear friends there. She participated in bowling leagues with her husband and friends, and was the number one cheerleader for the Fairport Bowling Team which her daughter and son both played for. She loved to travel to Ocean City, MD with family and friends, go camping at Skybrook Campground, and play bingo. She was also a master of puns and always knew how to get someone to crack a smile. You couldn’t help but love her when you met her. She loved to cook, and her specialities were beef jerky, pepperoni bread, bruschetta breads, and any other appetizer – she was the queen of feeding people. She loved dogs, especially her Yorkie Poo, Milo, and her daughter’s black lab, Duke. She also loved her red Camaro and her truck Big Red.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009, and bone cancer in 2013. She fought the good fight with everything she had. Even up until the very end you could always count on her to crack a joke or help fix you a snack. She will be dearly missed by her loved ones, and can now be at peace. It’s time for her to fly.
In lieu of flowers or other deliveries, Nancy’s wish was to have the family collect donations for the Lipson Cancer Center, as they were there for her every step of the way and she made lifelong friends in the medical professionals there. Donations can be made online.

I grew up with Nancy, Bob and friends in Fairport, NY. We took a trip to Ocean City MD and still have photos of our trip from way back when. Crazy enough. I remember me, Nancy, Bob, my brother Alan and his girlfriend at the time Michele Nielander, and Janice. We were at Mendon Ponds hanging out on blankets and enjoying the sun. All of a sudden a bee-hive, a very large bee-hive moved from one location action to another. It was a massive cloud of bees that came straight through us in the middle of the field. We all scattered and covered ourselves with the blankets. The last time I saw Nancy was in 2017 at Skybrook Campground and Bob with my sister Jackie and my mom. Not seeing them for years, I remember well that she was the same funny, welcoming and beautiful Nancy I always remembered. Her life was taken top soon but memories of her will last forever in all that knew her. RIP
Bob we are so sorry to hear. We are out of the country please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love ❤️ you all
Bob and family. I am sooo sorry to hear this! I will NEVER forget her dancing, and playfully flirting with me at Skybrook. Always stealing my hat and sunglasses, making me fight to get them back! She was a sweetheart. God bless you all.
Bob, I’m deeply sorry for your loss of your wife. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
They were known to us as the “triplets” and I lived next door to them until the age of 10 when they moved to Fairport. My best childhood friends moved away and I was sad to see them leave. I am sad again to hear of Nancy’s passing. My condolences to the Zollweg and Molinari Families. Cancer loses to the angel and good memories last a lifetime. May you find peace in our Lord and Savior during this time of healing. Love, Sharon (Boynton) DeGregorio
Louise, Janice and Steve so sorry for your loss.
I have such great memories that I will always
cherish. I pray that God gives you peace, comfort
and strength at this very difficult time.
