A beloved camper at Camp Mystic, Molly DeWitt, age 9, lost her life in the devastating flood in Kerr County, Texas, on 4th of July 2025.

Please keep her family, friends, and the Camp Mystic community in your thoughts.

Molly was born on the 10th of June 2016, in Houston, and in her short time on Earth, she lived with extraordinary heart, color, and compassion.
Molly had a heart as expansive as her imagination. From a young age, she was drawn to those on the margins—refugees, kids who felt different, people without homes. Her instinct was always to notice, to care, and to extend kindness. She gave freely of her time, her heart, and even her belongings, and she taught those around her what it meant to love without hesitation.

Molly was also endlessly creative—a vibrant, artistic spirit who loved to draw and design like her mom, dance with abandon, and dream up stories and ideas. A voracious reader, she could often be found lost in books that matched the depth of her imagination. She was insatiably curious, always eager to learn more and understand how the world worked—its people, its beauty, and even its heartbreak. She found joy in movement too—playing soccer, running freely, and sharing in the energy of sport and friendship.

She was spunky and strong-willed, just like her father—unafraid to speak her mind or stand her ground, always with that spark that made her unmistakably Molly. She lived with a kind of divine certitude—a confidence rooted in her deep and unwavering faith in God. It was this faith that shaped her heart and guided the way she loved others—with sincerity, generosity, and grace beyond her years—a faith she first saw modeled in her sister Annie, and then made her own.

Molly was radiant—stunning in a way that went far beyond appearance. Her beauty wasn’t just seen; it was felt. Her expressive face told stories of joy, mischief, compassion, and light. Her vivid blue-green eyes held remarkable depth, connecting especially with those who felt unseen. She made people feel known—not just with her words, but with her presence. Molly’s beauty was most powerful because it reflected the love and empathy she carried within.

Molly’s presence brought joy and inspiration to everyone who knew her. She lived generously, loved deeply, and left a lasting impression on hearts far and wide.
Though her time here was heartbreakingly short, Molly’s legacy of empathy, wonder, and unfiltered joy will live on in every act of kindness done in her name.
