Mary Margaret Dolan, age 80, of Stuart, Florida passed away peacefully and went to heaven on October 16th, 2025.
Mary was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and after graduating high school, she devoted 8 years of her life to the convent before finding the love of her life, Patrick Dolan, of Columbus, Ohio. Together they built a beautiful family grounded in faith, love, and service to others.
Mary is survived by her beloved children, Kelli (Joe) Smith and Patrick Dolan; her cherished grandchildren Riley, Reagan, and Reese Smith and Aaden and Jaxon Dolan; and her dearest lifelong friend, Joan Dusky-lovingly known as Aunt Joan.
For 25 years Mary served as a homebound teacher in Martin County, where she made a lasting impact on the lives of countless students and families. She was devoted member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Stuart and St Martin de Porres in Jensen Beach where she served as a Eucharistic Minister and was actively involved in the St Vincent de Paul Society. She was also an integral part of the Palm Beach Cursill and Marriage Encounter communities, where her faith and compassion touched many hearts.
Mary's greatest joy was spending time with her family, friends, and grandchildren. She loved people deeply, had a heart of gold, and always thought of others before herself. Her kindness, warmth, and laughter will be remembered forever by all who were blessed to know her.
Visitation will be held on Wednesday, October 22 from 5pm to 8pm at Forest Hills Funeral Home in Palm City, Florida. A funeral mass will be October 23 at 10 am at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Stuart, Florida.
