The Great Plains Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church "Death Notice: Merrietta Jo Wolfe" for Monday, 10 November 2014

Merrietta Jo Wolfe, formerly know as Merrietta Jo Randolph, age 74 years, died Nov. 4, 2014 at home, in Ashburn, Virginia, as a result of complications from multiple myeloma. She was born Dec. 25, 1939. Merrietta grew up in Enid, Oklahoma and lived there until her marriage to U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Roland L. Wolfe, Jr. in 1962. She was a homemaker and volunteer, active in various military, community, and Christian organizations for the next 28 years, living in North Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Florida, Republic of the Philippines, Texas and Delaware where her husband retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in 1989. In 1991, she and her husband were called by the Lord into full-time Christian service. Upon completion of seminary in Denver, Colorado, her husband was ordained as an Elder in the United Methodist Church and appointed to serve as a pastor to the Burrton and Pleasant Grove communities in Kansas, with subsequent service to the Rolla and Richfield, Kansas communities and finally at Fowler, Kansas, where he retired in Dec. 2003. In 2003 they moved to Herndon, Virginia to assist in the raising of their three granddaughters. Merrietta is survived by her husband and three sons, Roland L. Wolfe III of Englewood, Colorado, David H. Wolfe, and his wife, Jodie, of Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, and Russell M. Wolfe and his wife, Pamela, of Fairfax, Virginia. Merrietta's delight was in her family here on earth and in the knowledge and hope that they shall all be reunited one day with the Lord. A memorial service will be held on Nov. 15, 2014, at 1 p.m., at Cedar Run Community Church in Oak Hill, Virginia. Her family plans to have a subsequent burial with funeral service at Arlington National Cemetery at a later date. Memorials are suggested to a charity of your choice. Merrietta was an active philanthropist and supported many charities. In particular, she most passionately supported organizations which advanced the great commission and spread the good news that Jesus is Lord and has redeemed all who will believe.
