Mary Conover ?Molly? Bass
1966 ? 2022
Mary "Molly" Conover Bass, died on Wednesday, June 22, 2022, at University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville. Molly was born on June 3, 1966, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to Mary and Lucien Bass, who survive her. She completed elementary school at The Summit School and was graduated from Forsyth Country Day School. Molly held two degrees from the University of Virginia, graduating from the College with a BA in in Psychology and an MEd in Counselor Education from the School of Education. Molly revered The University, especially its laudable traditions of high academic standards, the Honor System, and competitive athletics. She was an avid supporter of the baseball team, attending as many games as possible. Throughout three decades of professional service with the UVA Alumni Association, Mollyâ??s varied roles culminated in her being named Senior Director of Scholarships and Endowments, a role she loved, and in which she thrived.
In addition to her love for The University, Mollyâ??s pride and joy were her many Bernese Mountain dogs. She raised multiple litters, several champion dogs, and some attaining Grand Champion recognition. Molly studied genetic backgrounds of each blood line and meticulously maintained high standards for her kennel, known and respected under the name: Quellen Bernese.
Aside from the being at home in the foothills of Virginia and with her dogs, Molly anticipated the annual family pilgrimage to Sandbridge Beach each year, and reveled in their time in the sand.
A memorial service will be held 2 p.m. Wednesday, June 29, 2022, at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Greenwood, Virginia, followed by a reception in the Parish Hall. Burial will be held at 11:30 a.m. Thursday, June 30, 2022, in Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia.
