Martha "Molly" Palmer Mithoefer died peacefully at her home in Trescott TWP, Maine, on April 22nd, 2025, after a 6-year incredibly courageous battle with Ovarian Cancer, her partner of 24 years, Greg Maker, by her side. Molly was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on July 15th, 1950. She was predeceased by her loving parents, James Mithoefer and Margaret Palmer Mithoefer Keeler. Along with her siblings, James Palmer Mithoefer, of Manchester Ctr, Vermont, Peter Palmer Mithoefer, of El Prado, New Mexico and Margaret Palmer Mithoefer, of Dorsett, Vermont, they had a loving and adventurous childhood together in Cooperstown, NY. She leaves her children, Morgen Mithoefer Buehner, of South Portland, Maine, Brannin Mithoefer Buehner, of Trescott TWP, Maine and Noah Mithoefer Buehner, of Freeport, Maine. Six grandchildren: Garrett, Joslyn, Hawkin, Axel, Emmett and Eleanor, who brought such pride to their grandmother. Molly taught at the Lubec Elementary School for 25 years, following her passion for children and innovative teaching. After teaching, her life was filled with her love for gardening, traveling, camp life at the lake and total love of nature. For example, at 22, she set off as a crew on a 48ft sailboat, crossing between Hawaii and Kodiak, Alaska. She was a true adventurer at heart, applying for Survivor four times and competing in the Tough Mountain Challenge. This being only second to raising her children and living a full, happy life, with her soulmate, Greg. Many, many friends also shared her life: Linda and Kim stood strong beside her from her teaching years through the end of her life. Sam Williams Winslow, who understood her, shared so much with her and gave her encouragement and support when she most needed it. Her "second sisters", Teresa and Mel, who were always there for her. And her two oldest friends, Betty and Ellen, who helped her survive her college days at the University of Vermont and stayed in touch through the years. Many other friends and family are too numerous to mention but each and every one meant the world to her. Molly would like to acknowledge the heart felt compassion and care she received at the MaineHealth Gynecology Cancer Care in Scarborough, especially Dr. Jason LaChance and Kim. Molly has chosen not to have a funeral, but a small celebration of life will take place during the summer, when the Zinnia's are in full bloom. In lieu of any gifts, her request was to have people make a conscience effort to be compassionate, kind and forgiving to others, as she practiced in her own life.
