Mary Ann Dolven, 84, of Idaho Falls, passed away October 13, 2020, at MorningStar Senior Living Center.
Mary was born October 2, 1936, in Appleton, Wisconsin, to Leonard Isadore Utschig and Dorothy Mae Utschig.
Mary loved people and enjoyed helping them. She was a loyal and generous friend.
Mary was a guidance counselor at Rocky Mountain Middle School in Bonneville School District 93. This job was a perfect fit, blending her passion for organization with her desire to help people find their path in life. Mary had a true gift for helping people successfully navigate the murky waters of the middle school experience. Mary loved making connections with people and she treasured the friendships she made at Rocky Mountain Middle School. She cherished the times she spent with her work family, whether it was walking before school for exercise, making a mad dash to get ice cream cones after school, or encouraging them to accompany her on extracurricular hikes in the Idaho wilderness.
After she retired, Mary stayed active in the Idaho Falls community. She volunteered in the St.
Most of all, Mary was a whole lot of fun! She could make even the most mundane activity into a game and lightened the mood with her infectious humor. She had a lifelong love for sweets and was a talented baker. Mary was never afraid to eat dessert before her dinner.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Leonard and Dorothy; a sister, Gloria Bego, and a grandson, Donovan McCourt.
