The Passing of Mary Wolfe
The Maumee Valley Country Day School community is saddened to learn of the death of Mary Wolfe on Oct. 23. Mary was a Maumee Valley parent, faculty supporter, occasional art history lecturer and, with her husband, Frederic (Fritz), a longtime and generous supporter of the arts at MVCDS and around the region. Fritz '47, along with their children Frederica (Freddie) ‘76 and Christine Wolfe Nichols '80, all attended Maumee Valley.
In the late 1980s, the Wolfes’ gave a leadership gift to the School for the renovation of an existing building into an art gallery that bears their name. Additionally, they provided a significant donation in the recent Under One Roof Campaign. Mary, who served as a school trustee, believed “to inspire students, teachers must be inspired,” and so Mary and Fritz created the Wolfe Dream Odyssey an endowed fund that provides support to faculty to pursue their dreams. To date, over twenty Maumee Valley faculty members have benefited from the Wolfes’ generosity.
