She was born to Thomas R. and Alberta S. Wolfe on Friday, August 13, 1926 in Albemarle, NC, where she grew up and graduated from Albemarle High School. She met her future husband, Dr. George T. Wolff, when they were both juniors in college – he at UNC-CH and she at what was then WC-UNC. They both graduated in 1948 and married in June 1949. They shared a wonderful life for 67 years before his death in October 2016.
Although Betty participated in many community organizations, her most satisfying achievement was raising four children, who survive her along with their families. They are Diane Nanny and husband, Bill, and daughter, Mallory; Debbe Wolff and her wonderful dogs, Ava and Eli; Denis Wolff and wife, Sesilia, and sons, Alexi and Phillip; and George T. Wolff, Jr. (Tim) and wife, Kathy, and their son and daughter-in-law, Thomas and Jessica, and son, Taylor. Betty is also survived by her three precious great grandchildren, Paisley, George and Joey. Betty is also survived by Mimi McGinn, Lisa Glass and Ann Shepherd, who she loved as her own.
Per Betty’s request, there will be no funeral. Betty asks that you say a kind word, think a gentle thought or do a good deed in her name. At a later date there will be a gathering of relatives and close friends at Lake Tillery to forever unite in heart and soul the loving spirits of Betty and George Wolff.
