Mary Dean was born on May 19, 1933, in Greely Kansas. She moved to Rollins, Wyoming in her Junior year and graduated from Rollins High School in 1951. She met the love of her life, Walter Eugene Wolf, on a blind date ordained by God. They married on June 16th, 1956. Married 65 years and 3 months, they are a great example of the grace granted through the Sacrament of Marriage. After being stationed in Germany, Walt and Mary Dean returned to the states where they raised a family of four daughters. While Walt traveled frequently for his career, she managed the household and frequent transfers and moves when they were promoted and kept up with four young girls all while staying active in the Catholic Church. She taught CCD, was a Eucharistic Minister, ministered to the homebound, led weekly prayer meetings, and sang in the Choir. After moving to Georgia in 1976, she was an Administrative Assistant at Wesley Woods Health Center for 9 years then went on to participate in the family giftware business. She showed her daughters how to be strong and independent women and be an advocate for themselves and those they love. As a woman of faith, she was an example for everyone to put Jesus first in all things. Her kindness, humor, strong faith, and love of family will be missed by all who were blessed to know her.
