Lucille Estelle (Walters) Wolf was called home to the Lord March 25, 2022 after 96 memorable years.

Born March 2, 1926 to Oliver and Ettna (Lindstrum) Walters, Lucille grew up in Columbus, Nebraska and went on to graduate from Kramer High and attended Nebraska Wesleyan University.

Lucille met the love of her life, George Wolf, who worked as a bank teller at Central National Bank near the office she worked for. Lucille would purposely take her business to George's window at the bank, sparking a loving relationship. Lucille later referred to George as "the most eligible bachelor in Columbus".

Lucille and George were happily married May 31, 1947 at Immanuel Lutheran Church Columbus, Nebraska. Lucille and George were blessed with six children: Donald, James, Mark, Robert, Steven, and Jeannie. Looking back on their childhood, Lucille and George's children feel thankful that their parents' devotion to faith, hard work ethic, and love for family and friends were instilled in them. Following the sudden passing of George in 1972, Lucille demonstrated her indomitable spirit by raising her family on her own for the next 50 years.

Following her time at the office, Lucille would go on to work for the Columbus newspaper writing their social column, and later for the Columbus Public School's cafeteria before retiring to Green Valley, Arizona. Lucille's strong sense of independence and love of life kept her active and involved with friends, family and community. Lucille enjoyed volunteering, taking writing classes, going for long walks, swimming, and enjoying time with family and friends whenever
possible.

Lucille will be remembered for her sweet and caring nature, the immensity of her heart, and 96 years lived so well, all we can say is "oh my!"

She is preceded in death by husband George Wolf; son James Wolf; son Robert Wolf; daughter-in-law Ann Wolf; sister Davida Johnson; brother Wendell Walters; sister Mildred Gamble; sister Geraldine Gilbert; brother Richard Walters; and infant brother Lloyd Walters.

She is survived by son Don Wolf of Eagle Point, OR; son Mark (Bobbi) Wolf of Omaha, NE; son Steve (Donna) Wolf of Southern Pines, NC; daughter Jeannie Wolf Lang of Chicago, IL; daughter-in-law Kathy Wolf (Mrs. Robert Wolf) of Philadelphia, PA; 12 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren.

The funeral service will be on Friday, April 8 at 10 am at Gass Haney Funeral Home with Rev. Tony Dawson officiating. Interment will be at Roselawn Cemetery following the service.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Immanuel Lutheran School, 2865 26th Ave, Columbus, NE 68601

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall
not want. He makes me to lie
down in green pastures; He leads
me beside the still waters. He
restores my soul; He leads me
in the paths of righteousness for
His name's sake.
Even though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil; for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff they comfort
me; You prepare a table before
me in the presence of mine enemies;
You anoint my head with oil,
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life;
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
