Marilyn Wolff Obituary
May 9, 1956 - May 2, 2017
Marilyn Lyn (Mick) Wolff, the daughter of Arnold and Naomi (Adams) Mick, was born in Henderson, Nebraska on May 9, 1956 and died in Meridian, Idaho on May 2, 2017, at the age of 60.
She grew up on a small farm outside of Hampton, Nebraska with seven sisters; Kathy, Carmen, Sharon, Regina, Lori, Bonnie and Sandy, and one brother, Thomas. She graduated from Hampton High School in 1974.
Marilyn was united in marriage to Gearld Linn Wolff on June 5, 1982 at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Lincoln, Nebraska. The couple made their home in Caldwell, Idaho.
Marilyn dedicated her life to her husband and daughters. She spent her time watching gymnastics classes, organizing Girl Scout trips, helping with marching band, coaching and organizing volleyball and softball. Since 1997, Marilyn has been the secretary/treasurer for the Caldwell Girls Athletic League Softball (G.A.L.S.). She shared her love of softball with thousands of girls and families in the Treasure Valley.
Marilyn was a great friend, and had the gift of making you feel that you were someone special. She was gentle and courageous. She shared your happiness and your sorrow. She never spoke an unkind word about anyone, and could do no harm to anyone.
Marilyn is survived by her husband, Gearld of Caldwell, Idaho; two daughters, Amber Wolff of Lincoln, Nebraska, and Ashley Wolff of Caldwell; and other family and friends.
Marilyn was preceded in death by her parents, Arnold and Naomi Mick, her infant brother, Robert Kent Mick, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Wesley and Edith "Peggy" Wolff.
Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, May 9 at 2 p.m. at St. Peter Lutheran Church in Hampton, Nebraska. Pastor James Gruber will officiate. Interment will be in the Aurora Cemetery in Aurora, Nebraska. Visitation will be from 5:00 to 7:00 PM at Higby-McQuiston Mortuary in Aurora.
A celebration of Marilyn's life will be held at a later date in Caldwell, Idaho.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to Stringfield Law Office, PO Box 777, Caldwell, ID 83606 to be held in trust. The family is working to establish a memorial fund to provide financial assistance to help children participate in community activities.

My dearest brother, Jerry and my precious nieces, Amber and Ashley, I love you all so much and loved Marilyn very much. Marilyn was such a special woman who gave her family many gifts, her smile, kindness, laughter, gentleness, wisdom, sincere friendship, and her love. Marilyn was a spiritual lady who believed in God and his wonderful heaven. Marilyn will live on in her daughters, always being there for them and for you, Jerry. I loved her as my sister and miss her very much. Remembering all of our fun and special talks together in Hawaii. May you all find peace in knowing she is with her family in heaven and will always be watching over those of us still here.
