Mary Magdalen “Mag” Molohon Kaelin, 92, of Owensboro passed away Wednesday, April 28, 2021 at the Carmel Home. She was born in Reed, Kentucky on March 29, 1929 to the late Ignatious L. and Mary Matilda Molohon. Mag was a homemaker and a member of St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Church for many years.

As a devout member of the Catholic faith, Mag selflessly dedicated countless hours to the Alter Society, taking communion to homebound church members for over ten years, and volunteering at the Help Office. In her free time, she enjoyed square dancing and playing bunco. Mag enjoyed being outdoors, and tending to her garden.

Mag is survived by children, John (Laura) Kaelin, Stephen (Lucy) Kaelin, Mary Charlotte Hedges, Martin (Patty) Kaelin, Theresa (Brian) Wethington; her grandchildren, Stephanie Kaelin, Carly (Jonathon) Higdon, John Michael Kaelin, Natalie (James) Adams, Aaron (Chelsea) Kaelin, Jared Kaelin, Audrey (Reyn) Judd, Ben (Casi) Hedges, Veronica (Jack) Shearn, Cody, Wyatt, and Cynthia Wethington; 5 great-grandchildren with 2 on the way; and her siblings, Sr. Martha Molohon and Mary Lucy (Tom) Hines.

Services will be 11:00 am Saturday, May 1, 2021 at St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Church, with Father Richard Powers officiating. Visitation will be from 9:00 am until the time-of-service Saturday at the church. Services will be livestreamed on the church’s Facebook page.
