She was fabulous. I remember going to see her wrestle at the Township in a bout with Miss Kitty Adams. Moolah won of course. She will be missed by me. Back then you didn't see too many female wrestlers so she was a real treat to see. As I recall Nature Boy Rick Flair had a match that night. It sure brings back memories. I used to laugh until I cried at the people in the audience.

My memories of Moolah are from her restaurant that was in Forest Lake Shopping Center. I downed many a beer poured my Moolah's hand in that little place.

Tonight I will make sure at least one beer is drank in her honor.

She was a true great role model for ALL athletes and a pioneer for females in sports! We will miss her with special thanks to her family for sharing her life with her fans. May God rest her blessed soul!

All those "old" people that we grew up watching on TV or reading about in the paper are dying off.. Face it they and "we" are just getting old and moving on. Except, Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, even if they ever dropped the big one, him and the cockroaches would still be scurrying around.

back in 1991 she came to see me in the hospital and katie did to. she will be missed and i was saddened by her death. even though she was the villian on tv she was a good hearted person in real life. there never be a another female on wwe like her.i have her biography and hope a dvd is done on her.

She and my grandmother were great friends growing up and still kept up with each other as I am told. The two of them won a talent contest at the township when they were teenagers. My grandmother plays piano and I think Moolah played the guitar best I can remember being told.

She was a class act . I remember watching her people practice wrestling. As a young teenager, I was fascinated. It was great showmanship. we don't get to see showmanship anymore. May she rest in peace. I will not forget her.

I have known Moolah for over 30 yrs, and she was a wonderful person. She will be missed so much.... RIP!

[Linda Bell]

I am very sorry to hear this and please if it will be a open to the public funeral let the viewers know, to the family sorry for your lost.

[LEXINGTONGIRL]

She will certainly be missed. I hope that the modern day wrestlers comprehend what a loss this is. She was the QUEEN! May God bless her soul.

[Breezy]

She will be greatly missed!

while i am not a wrestling fan, i knew a friend of hers. she told me very few people had the wonderful personality and ability Moolah had.

she was an incredible human being, not just an incredible wrestler.
