She was born on February 28, 1944, in Dubuque, Iowa.   She received her education in the Scales Mound schools.  On October 23, 1965 she was united in marriage to Gerald Wolfe at St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Galena, Illinois.  He preceded her in death on September 8, 1984.

Norma dedicated her life to her family and nursed Jerry through a difficult battle with bone cancer. She was very much a homebody. She raised her six children alone, eventually welcoming twelve grandchildren.  She loved to listen to Conway Twitty, and watch the QVC shopping network where most of her purchases were obtained.  She liked to do jigsaw puzzles and play rummy.  Most of all she liked to visit with her children and grandchildren.

She is survived by Gregory (Cathy) Wolfe of Dyersville, Jeremy (Melissa) Wolfe of New Vienna, IA, Bradley (Kelly) Wolfe of Solon, IA and Nathan Wolfe of Earlville, IA; two daughters, Kimberly   (Edwin) Anthony of Bargersville, IN, and Elizabeth Wolfe of Worthington, IA;  12 grandchildren, Justin and Nicole Wolfe, Camille, Faith, and Ian Anthony, Foster and Declan Wolfe, Haiden and Sullivan Wolfe, and Treyton Krogman; her siblings, Clement (Mary Ann) Grant of Lancaster, WI, Pam (Bruce) Van Gorden of Hazel Green, WI; her in-laws, Mary Spielmann of Robins, IA, Russ Wolfe of Woodman, WI, and Mary Kay Wolfe of Clinton, IL.

She is also preceded in death by her parents; two grandchildren, Margaret Mary Ellen Wolfe in infancy and Tyler Wolfe; her Siblings, LaVonne (Ray) Ruff, Merlin, Robert and Patrick Grant; her brother-in-law, Dick Wolfe.

The family would like to thank the staff at Good Neighbor Society for their excellent care of Norma.
