Molly, from Batley, Yorkshire, was described as a “beautiful angel” by her friend Courtney Thompson.
Writing on a GoFundMe appeal page for her friend’s funeral, devastated Courtney said: “We’re all absolutely heartbroken and hurting so much. She is such a beautiful angel. May she rest in paradise.”
Speaking to Yorkshire Live, she added: “Molly was the type of person who had a heart of gold but would tell you to shut up if you were complaining about yourself.
“When I first met Molly we were only little and from the moment I met her, she acted herself and I knew I was going to get on with her and be her friend/sister for life, she was so bubbly, loud, and such a funny girl.
“Molly had no filter at all but that’s what we loved about her – we all needed a Molly in our life.”
She went on to say that Molly was “always super positive” and was “adored” by her older brother and two little sisters.
The tragic teen is also mourned by her boyfriend, who “made her feel special”, with Courtney saying that they were “meant for each other”.
The grieving pal added: “We are all so distraught and can’t come to terms with what has happened. I honestly feel like I’ve lost my baby sister and that breaks me.
“Molly was the most loving person I know and no one will ever replace my Mol. It hurts so much to say she’s gone but never forgotten.
“We love you to the stars and back Mol, forever.”
Molly had beaten cancer after chemotherapy, but was taken ill with an infection which ultimately claimed her life.
Other friends have taken to social media to add their voices to the tributes.
One wrote that Molly was “the most caring and beautiful soul”.
Another said: “Dewsbury Moor [Molly’s rugby team] lost one of the most loved, sweetest most caring girls that graced this earth.”
Over £3,700 has already been raised by the GoFundMe campaign.
