Molly Brookman
Molly (Mary Catherine) Brookman passed away peacefully on Nov. 10 at LifePath Hospice in Sun City Center, FL. She was 55. Born in Boulder, CO, and raised in Glen Ellyn, IL, Molly’s adult journeys took her from Boston to Portland, ME, to Washington, DC, including a summer spent in Spain and exploring Europe. She eventually landed in Boise, ID, where she married and raised two daughters, Tia and Regan Perotto.
To the many, many friends she met on her journey and in her professional life, Molly was above all a caregiver. Whether working with developmentally challenged adults in a group home or informally providing support and counseling to a friend in difficult circumstances, she was widely loved and is remembered well by the vast network of those touched with her kindness and wisdom.
Following her move to Sun City Center, Molly developed a passion for art. Her whimsical drawings and vivid, emotionally charged abstract paintings were an expression of an empathetic personality who felt love, joy, grief and disappointment deeply and profoundly.
In addition to her daughters, Molly is survived by her mother and stepfather, Nancy and Richard Alguire — both of Sun City Center — as well as two brothers, Rob and Matt Brookman. In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be made to the Sun City Center Emergency Squad (https://sccems.com/support-us/).
