Rowena Wolfe

WOLFE, Rowena (Rene) Lillian Mae
September 10, 1918 - June 07, 2011

Rene, eldest of 7 children was born on the family farm at Gainsborough, Saskatchewan.
She slipped away gently at Hospice House in Kelowna with her loving daughter and
family friend, Bonnie Scott, by her side. Survived by her daughter Maureen,
sister Rae Olds of Pincher Creek, Alberta, nieces and nephews. Predeceased by
husband Wally Wolfe, parents: Ella & Stanley Law, sisters: Lola Jazzman, Kathleen
Schnurr, brothers: Gerald, Stewart & Vernon Law
Rene proudly served her country in the RCAF Women's Division during WW11, stationed
overseas in Newfoundland and England from 1941 until 1945. The day the war ended her
friend woke her up and said "Wake up Rene and live, you're going home!"
She volunteered for years in the Poppy office for November 11th and was a 30 year
member of the Legion.
Rene was a fabulous cook, great gardener, published poet and a fixer of everything
from broken hearts to fence posts, there wasn't anything she couldn't do when she set
her mind to it. She loved to travel and was always ready for the next adventure even if
it was only a drive across town. Her souvenir spoon collection was her biggest
delight, at last count it was close to 5,000 but that never stopped her from having
'just one more'. Yard sales & flea markets meant more treasures for her collections.
Mom loved the simple pleasures of life.
No service by request, private arrangements to take place in Alberta.
If desired, donations in Rene's name may be made to the Royal Canadian Legion -
Poppy Fund, mail cheque to R C L - Branch 26, 1380 Bertram St, Kelowna, BC V1Y 2G1
