Clarence Charles “Mo” Molinari

January 5, 1926 – February 15, 2025

Clarence Charles Molinari, lovingly known as “Mo,” passed away peacefully on February 15, 2025, in Santa Rosa, California, at the age of 99. Born on January 5, 1926, in San Francisco, Mo lived a long and vibrant life filled with love, laughter, and adventure.

Mo was raised in San Francisco and proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy during World War II from 1944 to 1946. After his service, he built a life rooted in family, passion, and community. He was married to the love of his life, Anna “Letty” Molinari, for 64 wonderful years, and together they raised five children: Linda, Virginia, Louis, Lisa, and John. Their family grew to include nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, each of whom was cherished by Mo.

Mo had an undeniable passion for life. He was fun-loving, social, and always ready to entertain with his humor and charm. His creativity and intelligence shone through in everything he did, and his caring nature left a lasting impact on those who knew him. Whether in San Carlos, Sonora, or during his final year in Santa Rosa, Mo’s presence brought joy and warmth to those around him.

Mo’s memory will live on in the stories shared, the lessons he taught, and the love he gave so freely.  A Celebration of Life will be held in Mo’s honor on Sunday, March 9, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Iron & Vine, 3330 Yulupa Ave, Santa Rosa, CA.

Rest in peace, Mo. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
