To everything there is a season...
Last Friday a long-time friend of my family died. Her name was Mary Anna Wolf and I had known her since I was very young. Jay and I are going to the funeral home tonight and to the service tomorrow. Mary Anna hadn't been sick; her death was a complete shock to everyone. Sudden and unexpected death certainly has a way of making you think, doesn't it?
She was a wonderful, kind person. She will be missed. 53, was born on April 17, 1952, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Raymond and Carmen Leisner. She died unexpectedly at her home in Allen Park on Friday, July 8, 2005. The second of seven children, Ms. Wolf excelled at school and obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Detroit, summa cum laude. Ms. Wolf was married to Terrill Wolf of Allen Park, from 1974 to 2004. Her sons, Karl and Matthew Wolf, will mourn the loss of a loving and devoted mother. Ms. Wolf's family also includes her mother, four brothers and a sister and their spouses, in addition to seven nieces and nephews who will miss her generous heart. She is preceded in death by her infant son, James Kyle Wolf, her father, her sister Emily Leisner and her mother-in-law Sallie Wolf. Her family will remember her love of literature and music, her co-workers at Ford Motor Company will miss her technical skills and gifts as as a writer. She was active in several divorce recovery groups, offering her love and support to friends in need. She has left behind countless friends who will remember her loyalty and strength of character.
