Julia Waldron was a nurse from St. Bathans. She married heart surgeon Prof Patrick Molloy in 1954. (Heart surgery was an emerging field when Patrick Molloy was a young doctor. He was one of its pioneers and, after working amid the Northern Ireland Conflict, Prof Molloy returned to New Zealand to lead the South Island s first cardiac surgery unit in Dunedin.) The Molloys were married for 63 years and, as well as their 11 children, they absorbed into their family a young woman who lived next door in the late 1970s and a Cambodian refugee in the early 80s. Julia Molloy died in 2017. 416 pages, illustrated.
