Clarice Elaine Marshall Wolf was born on January 19, 1925 in Fort Collins, CO, and moved with her family to a farm in Windom, MN, when she was in the 9th grade. She married Dale E. Wolf on New Year’s Eve, 1945. She died at home on February 23, 2018, surrounded by family.
Clarice Wolf embodied grace and loved without limits. She loved her husband, Dale Wolf, fiercely, for almost seventy-eight years, including the seventy-two years they were married. He was the light of her life, and until the very end, her whole being lit up when he walked into the room. She was the absolutely best mom in the universe and her four children, thirteen grandchildren and eight great grandchildren are so very grateful for her persistent loving.
She had a faith you could see, and she never tired of living it. She was committed to working with children in crisis and consistently volunteered with organizations supporting girls struggling with poverty and racism, prisoners and returning citizens, folks living on the streets, community gardens and public art. She invested in raising funds, challenging complacency and indifference, and inviting people to invest in the common good.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to an organization working on behalf of children. The Wolf family has created a scholarship fund for girls from financially challenged backgrounds who are dedicated to helping children. If you would like make a tax deductible gift to this scholarship fund, please send checks to the Wolf Foundation, for Clarice Wolf scholarships, c/o Jim Wolf, 4004 Hillingham Circle, Chadds Ford, PA, 19317.
