Catherine Woolf Obituary
She was born in Dallas, Texas on April 11, 1945 to Orvan and Zualine Carnes. She graduated from W.H. Adamson High School in Dallas, Texas in 1963 and attended the University of North Texas. After college, she was a devoted wife and dedicated her time to her family and served as a volunteer in various activities.
Cathy was a very selfless and special lady. She had a strong Christian faith and was very passionate about her relationship with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She would do anything for her family and friends. Cathy never "met a stranger", and she was such a loving person that people were often attracted to her. It was a very natural thing for her to have a strong and lasting positive impact on the people that she met.
Surviving family members include her husband John Woolf of Plano; son Kirk Woolf of Plano; son Kevin Woolf of Dallas; daughter Kim Price of Plano; granddaughter Corinne Price of Dallas; sister Gayla Dobbins of Dallas; sister Cindy Peters of McKinney, Texas; and a number of nieces and nephews.
A Funeral Service will be held at 2:00 pm on Friday, February 7, 2014 at Sparkman/Hillcrest Northwest Hwy Chapel, 7405 W. Northwest Hwy., Dallas, Texas 75225. Burial will follow in Hillcrest Memorial Park Cemetery. Memorials may be made to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Online condolences can be made at www.Sparkman-Hillcrest.com.

I met Cathy on a tour of Israel in 1991. I told her I had relatives in the Dallas area. I got to know her family as well. There were several of us on that trip that stayed in touch over the years.
Cathy was such a gracious Christian lady. Loving and kind. What a great marriage. She often told me John was the best man she ever met besides Jesus.
All of us who met her on the trip will always remember her.
I was glad to have known her.

John, viewing the gallery of pictures of Cathy brought a flood of memories. What a girl! And what a beautiful family you two created. Like everyone who knew her, I admired Cathy throughout our years at Greiner & Adamson & even NT! The image I have of Cathy smiling & laughing will stay with me; she is a bright light. Sympathy & love to you and your family.

I will always remember Cathy for her warmth and kindness and her faith in the Lord. She must have been the most wonderful person to have as a grandma. I know my Mckenzie enjoyed her times at the Wolf house especially because of Cathy. Love and prayers to the entire family.

I asked about Cathy at our 50th reunion and was told that she was sick. I had no idea how serious it was. I will always remember how you found each other way back then and seemed so happy and devoted.. God bless you, John, and your family.
