Mrs. Wolf was born June, 1948 in Pasadena, California, the daughter of the late Jack Lewis Dawson and the late Kathryn Mabel (Washburn) Dawson Litchfield. She was a longtime resident of Bartlett before moving to Oakland 3 years ago. She was married in 1990 to Bruce Wolf, who preceded her in death on January 21, 2013. Mrs. Wolf was a member of First Baptist Church Hickory Withe. She took joy in reading her Bible and was an active member of the Yahoo's and involved with the Bridging the Gap ministry. She felt blessed for every day she was given and was determined to live each day to the fullest. She was an avid reader and enjoyed collecting vintage and antique books. She was a lifelong Raider fan and looked forward to the start of every football season. Mrs. Wolf cherished and spent most of her time with her friends, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She had a wonderful sense of humor, and an infectious laugh; those who spent any time with her, couldn't help but smile and laugh right along with her. She was a true blessing and a gift to all who knew her.
