FORT BELVOIR, Va. — Coast Guard Commander Molly Waters was riding her motorcycle to work on May 13 when she was hit by a car. She died in the hospital from her injuries a few days later.
"She was 37 years old, extremely healthy, extremely active, in the prime of her life," Lt. Commander Jeannette Greene, Waters' sister, said.
Greene also serves in the Coast Guard.
In Waters' will, she listed that she wanted to donate her organs. As it turned out, a fellow sailor's mom needed one.
