Surprisingly little news coverage after 24 hours, but Bruce Lawson, former Deputy CTO at Opera and with whom she co-edited Usability: The Site Speaks For Itself (ISBN 978-1904151036) posted “Goodbye Molly Holzschlag”, from which the last couple of sentences might be worth quoting. Karl Dubost, formerly of the W3C and Mozilla, at Apple now, posted “Molly”. Stéphane Deschamps, founder of Paris Web [fr] and former co-director of Openweb blogged an obit in French and Jason Grigsby, author of Progressive Web Apps (ISBN 978-1952616211) for A Book Apart blogged “Remembering Molly”.

Quite a few tributes on LinkedIn, from Richard Morton, head of accessibility for the UK Govt, posted with a good quote: “Without her we would be unlikely to have web standards, and the browser scene would still be like the Wild West”. Meryl Evans, accessibility consultant currently at NASA, posted a longer obit on LinkedIn, as did Matt May, long-time head of inclusive design at Adobe, with the entertaining anecdote: “When there was a question about whether to raise a stink over one browser company or another, Molly would remind us: ‘wasps sting’ ”. Technologist Jesse Warden wrote a piece with insight around Flash and accessibility. Kel Smith, UXD, lecturer and Xoogler, started his piece with “If you're reading this, or if what you do for a living has anything to do with the web, then you have Molly Holzschlag to thank”. Robert Nyman, Googler, MDN Advisory Board member and co-founder, Governing and Steering Committee member of Open Web Docs mentioned “she also showed that it's ok to be a person and share personal things, and not just be a web dev character and not talk about anything else”.

ETA: Also, Eric Meyer posted “Memories of Molly”, describing Holzschlag as “one of the first web gurus” along with several anecdotes. Deborah Edwards-Oñoro, previously of Refresh Detroit and Habitat for Humanity, described Holzschlag as “the force behind what many of us take for granted, on how web browsers work, web standards, and the open web”. Faruk Ateş also posted on LinkedIn; there's a few possible quotes there too. — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk) 09:37, 7 September 2023 (UTC), updated 09:08, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Death date should be 9/4, not 9/5

[edit]

Molly’s date of death was September 4, 2023, not September 5 as stated twice on the page. See the very first source for the page, namely, https://angelvalleyfuneralhome.com/tribute/details/76475/Molly-Holzschlag/obituary.html. (“Molly E. Holzschlag … passed away on September 4, 2023.”)

I’m guessing that September 5 was used because it is the original publication date of the second source, an obituary in the Tucson Sentinel obituary, which says that she was found on Tuesday, September 5 https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/090523_molly_holzschlag/tucsons-molly-holzschlag-known-as-the-fairy-godmother-web-dead-60/ nlucchesi (talk) 12:44, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
