Maxene Patricia Ostler Dutson passed away peacefully March 20, 2011 at Parkwood Meadows Assisted Living Idaho Falls. Maxene was the daughter of Millo J. and Lucy McGregor Hendry Ostler. She was born in Ogden Utah, May 26, 1924, and raised in Sugar City, Idaho. She had many fond memories of growing up in Sugar City where her mother ran a boarding house, and her father was the owner of Ostler Shoe Repair, and carried the mail from the railroad depot. Maxene graduated from high school during WW II and with friends moved to Ogden, Utah, and then Ohio to work in defense plants. In the 1950's and 60's she worked as a Draft Board Clerk, and was always very patriotic and proud of our Country. She was also very proud of her Scottish heritage. In 1946, she married John F. Lee and together they raised their 3 children in Rexburg. She married Wayne Dutson in 1966, and together they spent 43 years enjoying life. In the late 70's, they built a log home and beautifully landscaped a huge yard. When the big house and yard got to be too much they moved to a smaller one in Idaho Falls. She really enjoyed working in and keeping up a beautiful yard. Maxene and Wayne enjoyed many road trips, taking back roads all over Idaho. They went to Alaska one summer, and enjoyed it so much they went back 4 more times, never on a cruise, just traveling via train, bus, car and ferry. Wayne described their travels as "Very adventurous for two old duffers". She was preceded in death by her parents and a sister, Marvel; husband, Wayne (in 2009); son, M. Stephen Lee; and step-daughter, Norma Dutson. She is survived by daughters and sons-in-law Vicki and Wayne Grover of Rexburg, and JohnnieSue and Bob Elliott of Shelley, step-daughters: Ellen Dutson and Carol Gilson, and their families, of Meridian. Some of the greatest joys in her life were the many grandchildren who called her "Grandma D". A celebration of Life with family and friends will be held at Coltrin Mortuary 2100 First St Idaho Falls, Wednesday March 23 from 1:00-2:30 pm. with interment immediately following at the Sugar City Cemetery.
