A new chapter in the Watters family began on September 11, 1943. In a letter dated September 10, Alfred Adair Watters, Sr. wrote his sons Bobby and Warren to share the news that he would be married the very next day to "a swell New Zealand girl."
"She has been a fine companion to me for the past six months and we just sort of fell in love with each other. I am sure that this would meet with Mother's approval - Molly understands how deeply I loved your precious mother and how much I love you and Warren."
"She is 5 feet tall, 98# 'big' and auburn haired."
Born in 1944 in New Orleans, Russell Packer Watters joined the family.
In 1949 after Alfred Adair Watters resigned as New Orleans Police Commissioner, the family moved to La Jolla, California and then Coronado, California. In 1952, because of health issues and the necessity of closer medical facilities, the family settled on Hillside Drive in La Jolla. In 1961, after Adair's death in 1960, the house on Hillside Drive was sold and Molly and Russell moved into a smaller home near the ocean in La Jolla.
Molly Frances Benjamin Watters died in 1999 and is
buried in Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery
in San Diego, California with her husband
Alfred Adair Watters.
