Momma Wolf will be remembered as a happy go lucky and very bubbly person. Everyone was blessed with her presence and she lit up a room as soon as she walked in. I always enjoyed her comments to me about behaving. Its a privilege and an honor to know such a special woman almost my whole life.

Becky,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was the sweetest lady. She had a knack for making people feel great about themselves and I appreciated that soooo much. She made a “not so great” day for me turn into a fabulous one just from her kindness. She is in good hands and free from pain. Hugs to you and your family!

We are sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. She was a Very Special Person and my brother and myself always enjoyed talking with her everyday in the cafeteria at school. She wasnt afraid to help whenever it was needed and she was liked and respected by all of the kids at school. We will miss her very much and we will never forget what a kind and loving person she was.
Love The Campbell Family
