She also attended almost every Bible study offered and had served with the Spanish Mission and as part of a church plant in Brantley County.  She truly and faithfully loved her Lord and Savior.

She had been a devoted wife, a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt, and a true friend to many. She was also a regular customer who enjoyed eating and fellowshipping with all at the Huddle House.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Archie Franklin Wolfe, Jr.; a sister, Aurora Alvidres; and a brother and a sister-in-law, Mercedes and Rosalia Horta.
