Bellingham, Washington - It is with heavy hearts that the family of Donald J. Wolfe announces his passing on February 23, 2025, at the age of 87. Born in Silverton, Oregon, on June 30, 1937, Donald lived a life full of love, dedication, and joy.

Donald married his beloved wife, Phyllis Mezo, on April 9, 1960, in Bellingham, WA. Together, they raised three children Pamela, Donna, and Michael. He was a proud and loving father, doting grandfather, and a cherished great-grandfather. His family was his greatest joy.

Donald retired from Intalco in 1999 after many years of dedicated service. Following retirement, he enjoyed spending time in Arizona, where he found peace and joy. He had a deep love for the outdoors and cherished time spent hunting, fishing, and puttering in his workshop. His faith was a central part of his life, and he was an active member of St. Joseph Catholic Church.

Donald was preceded in death by his parents, Michael and Eugenia Wolfe, and his sisters, Mary Underwood and Louise Furin. He is survived by his wife, Phyllis; children Pamela (Danny) Lomsdalen, Donna Harkness, and Michael (Christie) Wolfe.

He will also be fondly remembered by special nephews Greg (Sonja) Wolf, Stan (Trina) Wolf, and John (Jennifer) Perry, as well as numerous loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family.

A man of great warmth and kindness, Donald's family was his cornerstone, and his gentle nature and sense of humor touched the lives of all who knew him.
