Alice Wolff

Alice A. Wolff, 96, Jamestown, ND, died peacefully, Tuesday, January 31, 2023 at Edgewood Senior Living, Jamestown due to recently diagnosed liver cancer.

Alice Agnes (Kahler) Wolff was born October 28, 1926 at Pettibone, ND to John and Magdalena (Guthmiller) Kahler.  After her schooling through the 8th grade she began working for Dave & Libbus Nelson as a housekeeper, cook and helper for their young family in Heaton/Sykeston area.  She then met the love of her life, Arthur E. Wolff and they were united in marriage November 22, 1945 at St. John’s Lutheran Church, Jamestown, ND and were married nearly 67 years before he passed away.

Alice worked various jobs during her life, including waitress, but mostly at Jamestown Hospital in housekeeping and as a nurse’s aide.  Her first and most important job was that of a loving wife, mother, and homemaker.  She did an excellent job at all she did and did everything with perfection, including carpentry, masonry, sewing, macramé, cooking, canning, gardening, landscaping and her most favorite pastime in these last years, crocheting.  She’s made hundreds of afghans for family, friends, and many were donated to various organizations.  Each one was made with love and absolute perfection.

She enjoyed spending time with family and playing cards and board games.  She was a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church, Jamestown, ND for all these years and had taught Sunday School and had been a member of Sunshine Circle.  She loved the Lord and waited to be home with Him.

Alice is survived by three children; Gerry (Art) Perleberg, Jamestown, ND, Kathy (Jerry) DeBolt, Edgeley, ND and Tim (Cindy) Wolff, Jamestown, ND; seven grandchildren, Brent (Wendy Riddle) Perleberg, Angela Stanek, Brian (fiancé, Coleen Rannow) DeBolt, Brandon (Ashley) DeBolt, Darcie (Bruce) McAnally, Fred (Liza) Wolff, and Jenna Wolff; eight great-grandchildren, Adam and Erika Stanek, Amber and Madison DeBolt, Logan and Gracie Nichelson, Brody and Henry Wolff, and baby DeBolt due in March, one sister, Leona Morlock, Medina, ND, two sisters-in-law, Shirley (Harold) Sahr, Jamestown, ND and Lorraine J. Wolff, Superior, WI, and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Art, and sister, Clara Wetzel.  She will be dearly missed by her family and friends.  The family suggests that in lieu of flowers, memorials go to JRMC Hospice, St. John’s Lutheran Church, Jamestown or charity of your choice.

The family thanks everyone who has known her, loved her, cared for her or spent time with her.  Thank you also for all prayers extended on her behalf.
