Molly Jane Matheson, 22, passed away Monday,

McKinney Memorial Bible Church, 4805 Arborlawn Drive, Fort Worth 76109.
Visitation: 6 to 8 p.m. Monday at Greenwood Live Oak Room. Memorials: In lieu
of flowers, donations may be made to the Molly Matheson Memorial Fund at any
Frost Bank location or mailed to P.O.Box 100275, Fort Worth, Texas 76185. Molly
was the only daughter and second of four children of David and Tracy Matheson. While
Molly and her family moved to Texas in 2010, she considered Winter Park, Fla.,
to be her home. She was born May 18,1994, in Fairfax, Va. Molly and her family
moved often in her early years, but settled in Winter Park when she was 3 years
old. Molly attended Dommerich Elementary School, Maitland Middle School and
Winter Park High School. She followed in her older brother's footsteps and
played goalie on her lacrosse team. She was an active and enthusiastic member
of Elevate Student Ministry at First United Methodist Church of Winter Park. It
was through this ministry that Molly developed a personal relationship with
Jesus Christ. She enjoyed serving others and sharing God's love on mission
trips. She also looked forward to being a youth volunteer each summer at
Vacation Bible School. Molly graduated from Timber Creek High School in Keller,
Texas. She attended the University of Arkansas for three years and was an avid
Razorback football fan and could call the hogs with the best of them. She
returned to Fort Worth and was taking classes at Tarrant County College with
plans to obtain her social work degree from Tarleton State University's Fort
Worth campus. Molly had a passion for children, especially those in need, and
this passion fueled her desire to impact their lives as a social worker.
Children also had a passion for Molly and were drawn to her silly, vibrant,
joyful spirit. She worked as a nanny and spent countless hours babysitting for
neighborhood families, and many of these children looked for excuses for their
parents to hire Molly more often. Her infectious smile and wicked sense of
humor brought immeasurable joy to each person she knew. She was a master at
photo bombing all of her family's and friend's (and likely many stranger's)
photos and made it quite difficult to get a proper family photo because of her
goofy expressions. Molly loved music and entertained her family on road trips
with her interpretation of her favorite songs, complete with choreography.
Molly was a devoted friend and remained in close contact with nearly every
friend she ever had. She loved unconditionally and always saw the very best in
people. She was authentic and not afraid to speak her mind. She was the person
people came to when they needed advice, a listening ear, or a birthday cake. As
a young girl, Molly might have been described as stubborn with more than a
little sass. Her relationship with her parents was especially close and they
appreciated both her sass and her quirky sense of humor. She and her father
competed to see who could be funnier, and often Molly was the only one who
laughed at his jokes. Molly's mother counted her as a true best friend and
often referred to Molly as her right hand. Molly was always willing to provide
any and all assistance whenever it was needed. Yet, she never took herself too
seriously and spending any time at all with Molly was sure to brighten your
day. Molly's role as the only girl in a home with three brothers was one she
cherished. She provided a wealth of fashion and beauty advice to her entire
family, including her cousins. She took tremendous pride in the accomplishments
of her younger brothers, Ben and Max, and was their biggest fan. She had an
especially close relationship with her older brother, Nick, and loved that
people often thought they were twins. She was embraced by his circle of friends
and teased that they liked her more than they did Nick. While Molly's 22 years
on this earth were far too short, her impact and influence will remain forever.
Her legacy of light, love, and laughter will endure. Molly was preceded in
death by both of her grandmothers, Jan Redfearn and Helen Matheson. Survivors:
Parents, David and Tracy; brothers, Nick and his wife, Elizabeth, of Dallas,
Ben and Max; grandfather, Jim Redfearn of Aiken, S.C.; grandfather, Donald
Matheson of Fort Worth; as well as her aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends
who will miss her dearly.
Two years after her daughter was killed, mother
works to help sexual assault survivors

Molly Matheson used wit to maneuver in her family
of three brothers.
She offered advice on handling girls and cheered
their achievements.
It seems at times to her relatives that the Fort
Worth woman, who was 22 when she was raped and killed in April 2017, is still
in their lives.
“She’s just not present,” Tracy Matheson, her mother, said Friday.
Matheson found her daughter’s body on the floor of
the shower in her garage apartment behind a house about two blocks from the
Texas Christian University campus. The assailant, law enforcement authorities
allege, is a man she dated in college. After killing her, he washed her body,
clothes and bedding in an attempt to destroy evidence, they allege.
Reginald Kimbro, who has been indicted on a capital
murder charge in the case, is to be tried in May. The Tarrant County District
Attorney’s Office is seeking the death penalty.
Kimbro has also been indicted in the capital murder
of a Plano woman that occurred less than two weeks after Matheson’s death. He
is accused in the rape and slaying of 36-year-old Megan Leigh Getrum.
Tracy Matheson spoke Friday to about 30 Bank of
America employees who volunteered at its Amon Carter Boulevard office to
assemble bags of clothing and other items to give to sexual assault victims
soon after they are examined.
The bags are distributed to hospitals and rape
crisis centers by a nonprofit organization, Project Beloved, which Tracy
Matheson created that is focused on helping sexual assault victims.
The organization has donated 1,700 of the bags,
called beloved bundles, that hold clothing, hygiene products and other items.
Bank of America donated $50,000 to Project Beloved.
The grant will fund bundles and the creation of “soft” rooms in which
detectives interview victims at law enforcement offices . The rooms include
comfortable seating, pleasant lighting, artwork and rugs to help people feel
safe. Such a room recently was added at the Bedford Police Department.
Emily Boydston, a wealth management advisor at
Merrill Lynch, nominated the nonprofit for the bank grant. She met Tracy Matheson
at a Trinity Valley School alumni gathering after Matheson’s daughter’s death.
Molly Matheson grew up in Winter Park, Fla., before
moving to Fort Worth with her family in 2010. After graduating from high school,
she attended the University of Arkansas. She left the school in 2015 and
returned to Fort Worth.
At the time of her death, she was working as a
sales manager at a women’s clothing store in the University Park Village
shopping center. Matheson’s mother learned that she had not arrived for a
scheduled shift and found her body when she went to check on her.
“She was the glue that held our family together,”
she said.
As she prepares for the Kimbro’s trial next year,
Tracy Matheson is focused on the work of her organization. Next up, she will
oversee the installation of six soft interview rooms at the Austin Police
Department.
