A small community in the New South Wales central west has marked Mother's Day with a walk in memory of Molly Ticehurst, who was allegedly killed by a former partner last month.

Pushing prams and flanked by puppies, families followed the path around Lake Forbes on Sunday. About 400 people gathered, many wearing bright T-shirts with the slogans #HernameisMolly" and #Speakup". They included close friends and family of the 28-year-old.
