Delores Wolfe

Delores Wolfe, 87 left us for eternity with our heavenly father October 22, 2023, under hospice care. Delores was born September 12, 1936 in Marinette, WI to the late Earl and Wilma Dettman. She is a graduate of Marinette High School in 1954. She married Richard Wolfe from Wausau, which became home for their family of 7 kids.
After being a stay-at-home mom for many years, Delores attended North Central Technical Institute for cake decorating, followed by a 40-year career working at Cirilli's, 29 Super, and Pick & Save, providing specialty cakes for weddings and parties.
Delores loved Jesus Christ, and lived with the purpose of making him LORD of her life. She was devoted to impressing and modeling the importance of faith to her children, teaching Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, serving in the kitchen, and being part of women's ministries. Even as she faced the challenges of aging, she found great joy and deep friendships at church.
Delores was a compassionate listener who sacrificed to provide for her family. She was a good friend to those who knew her and the sole caretaker of her husband during his 8 long years of illness. Shen enjoyed puzzles, making crafts, canning, and tending her flowers. The family enjoyed camping and a few cross-country vacations. Later, Richard and Delores also traveled to Hawaii and Europe, where their daughter was stationed.
