Mrs. Laura M. Wolf, 96, of Pierce City, Missouri, departed this life on Monday morning, January 28, 2013 while at Freeman West Hospital in Joplin, Missouri.
Laura was born on May 11, 1916 in Barry County, Missouri, daughter of the late Frank and Mary (Friday) Witt. Some of her elementary education was at St. Mary's Catholic School. In her younger years, she was an active member of St. Mary's Altar Society and the Legion of Mary. Laura had many joys in her life including playing Pitch and was the family Checker champion.
On April 21, 1936, at St. Mary's Catholic Church, Laura married John C. Wolf. They celebrated fifty-five years together before his passing in September of 1991. She was also preceded in death by one grandson, Rob Yonker; one great-grandson, Doug Perrin; one sister, Elizabeth Witt; and seven brothers, Ed Witt, Albert Witt, Joe Witt, John Witt, Glen Witt, Ben Witt and Emil Witt.

Laura was a huge presence in her children's and grand-children's lives. Her favorite place on earth was her home and springtime was her favorite season, so she could look forward to planting her yard with flowers.
