Jacquelyn “Jackie” B. Wolff (née George) passed away peacefully on January 8, 2026, at the age of 92, surrounded by love.

Born on August 1, 1933, in Richfield, Minnesota, to William and Phoebe George, Jackie grew up in Richfield, where she met the love of her life, Robert Wolff. They married in 1952 and built a beautiful life together, raising four children.

Jackie is survived by her daughter Sharon Wagner (Mike), son Bill Wolff (Denise), and her devoted puppy Oreo. She was the cherished grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend to many. She is also survived by her many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and a wide circle of special friends who were like family.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Robert Wolff, her son Fred Wolff, and her son Tom Wolff.

Jackie spent most of her life in Edina, Minnesota, where she opened her home and heart to family, friends, and even strangers during holiday gatherings, creating countless warm memories. In 2024, she moved to Crosslake, Minnesota, to be closer to her children—a change that brought joy in her final chapter.

A woman of quiet strength, strong faith and endless love, Jackie was the unbreakable glue that held her family together through good times and difficult ones. She found happiness in warm sunny days tending her garden and cherished relaxing days “at the lake” with loved ones. Her unwavering support, kindness, and joyful spirit touched everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Jackie will be deeply missed and forever remembered for the love she gave so freely.
