Mollie Nye was one of two daughters born to pioneers Olive and Alfred Nye. Olive was a well liked school teacher who taught in the Roche Point School. Mollie and her sister Joyce both attended the school as students and Mollie taught there from 1933-1939. She was an innovative and dedicated teacher. As an avid gardener herself she taught her students how to grow vegetables and flowers in the school garden. She lived for many years in Lynn Valley and taught for 22 years at Sutherland Junior High School.
