A funeral Mass for Roseanne Patricia Wolf was held May 30 at Holy Ghost Church.
Mrs. Wolf passed away May 20 surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
She was 86.
Mrs. Wolf was born on Oct. 31, 1936, in Philadelphia.
Not only was Mrs. Wolf a dedicated wife to David L. Wolf, who was a longtime Knoxville businessman, she also was an outstanding mother and a member of Holy Ghost Parish for almost 70 years.
She was the “perfect friend” to many.
In addition to numerous volunteer positions in the Knoxville Catholic community, she also worked for the city of Knoxville in the Special Events Department for 15 years. Mrs. Wolf’s dedication to sharing her time, talents, and treasures were deeply rooted in her strong Catholic faith.
Because of her witty personality, she was passionate about celebrating her Halloween birthday each year by surprising friends and family in full costume. Halloween will never be the same. She will be sadly missed by many, but she will finally rest in peace, free from suffering.
Mrs. Wolf is preceded in death by her parents, John and Rose Millett; David L. Wolf, her husband of 69 years; and son, David Jay Wolf.
She leaves behind her children, Tom Wolf (Konomi), Margaret Mynatt (James), John Wolf (Beth), and Anne Bugg (David); seven grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.
The family would like to express their gratitude to the Caring Hearts team who provided extraordinary in-home care to both Mr. and Mrs. Wolf for the last seven years.
Following the funeral Mass, Mrs. Wolf was laid to rest at Lynnhurst Cemetery in Knoxville.
The family requests that memorial donations be made to the Holy Ghost Catholic Church Building Fund. The mailing address is 1041 N. Central St., Knoxville, TN 37917.
