Wolf, Nancy 64 July 25, 1950 – Aug. 19, 2014 A funeral and graveside burial will be held for Nancy at 10 a.m. Tuesday, August 26, 2014, at Bateman Carroll Funeral Home and Forest Lawn Cemetery and Mausoleum in Gresham.

A devoted lover of both cats and the written word, Nancy was born in Newport, Washington. Her family moved to Portland when she was an infant. She graduated from Gresham High School in 1968. In 2002 she earned a bachelor of arts degree in arts and humanities from Linfield College in McMinnville. In her twenties, she lived in Europe, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. She spent the rest of her life in the Pacific Northwest, settling first in

the Portland area and then moving to Salem.

Nancy was a 15-year employee of Oregon Catholic Press, serving as a gifted writer, editor, proofreader, and executive assistant. She leaves a legacy marked by a reverence for words and love of punctuation, both the accurate and the humorously misplaced. She will be greatly missed by her colleagues.

She was preceded in death by Antonio Francisco Dias Dos Santos (2014), her longtime companion of Salem; brother Randy Allen Hottenstein Wallace (1994); father Seibert Edwin Hottenstein (1991); and mother Esther Irene Hottenstein (1980).
