Teri Garr with adopted daughter, Molly O’Neill

Teri Garr passed away on Tuesday, Oct. 29th. The singer died after a battle with multiple sclerosis. Teri had one child, her adopted daughter, Molly O’Neill. The actor adopted her daughter on Nov. 11, 1993, during her marriage to contractor John O’Neill. His marriage to Teri Garr took place on the same day their daughter Molly was born. Teri and John were married for three years and divorced in 1996. They split custody of Molly. John credited their then-8-year-old daughter for being a light for her mom while she was facing her diagnoses.

“If ever Teri feels down, Molly is there to lift her spirits,” John told an interviewer. “Molly is the most wonderful child in the world.” John added that Teri was fully present in their daughter’s life and, despite her own challenges, ensured her daughter felt loved and seen by both parents. “Molly is gold — she means the world to us. We are the luckiest two people in the world to have this child. The only thing that is important is raising our daughter.”

Like her mother, Molly is private and has no public social media. However, she attended several multiple sclerosis benefits with her mom as a child in the early 2000s. According to Variety, Molly has a son named Tyryn, who is also mourning the loss of his grandmother.
