Ruth A. Wolf

MILLEDGEVILLE – Ruth A. Wolf, 63, of Milledgeville, died Tuesday, Nov. 21, 2017, at Good Samaritan Society – Mount Carroll.

She was born July 4, 1954, in Madison, Wisconsin, to Chester and Joyce (Fey) Strehlow. She married William Wolf on Dec. 9, 1972, at Milledgeville Brethren Church.

In her leisure time she liked to sit by the pool. Her children and grandchildren meant the world to her, and she supported them every chance she had. She and Troy had a very special bond.
