Mary Wolf Rolfing Bogue, 84

Mary Wolf Rolfing Bogue died June 14, 2007, at Brendan House in Kalispell, Montana, at age 84.

She was born in Chicago, attended New Trier High School and Northwestern University, was a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University, and lived for many years in Wilmette, DeKalb and Glenview, Ill.

She resided in Pebble Beach, Calif., since 1972 and then in her beloved Bigfork since 1991, where she enjoyed her children and grandchildren and 'making countless cookies for the countryside,' as she liked to say.

'Mary-Mom,' as she was affectionately called, is survived by her three sons and their wives, Mark and Debi Rolfing of Kapalua, Maui, Hawaii, and Swan Lake; Steve and Sue Rolfing of Columbia Falls; and Pete and Tammy Rolfing of Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii; and her three grandchildren, Kate Grenier and husband Eddie of Portland; Jamie Rolfing of Columbia Falls; and Hannelore Rolfing of Lahaina, Maui; and her devoted assistant and friend, Pat Russell of Monterey, Calif.

She was preceded in death by her first husband, James E. Rolfing; and her second husband, Verle D. Bogue.

Mary-Mom's friends and family will celebrate her life at an open house reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday, July 22, at one of her favorite places, the Somers Bay Cafe.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests tax-deductible gifts to the Mary Rolfing Bogue Memorial Fund c/o Flathead Community Foundation, P.O. Box 1422, Kalispell, MT 59903, for charitable distribution as advised by the family; or to other charities.
