To Celebrate a Life of Love: Margaret A. Wolf

August 29, 1933-June 3, 2022

Margaret Ann Wolf, age 88, passed away on Friday, June 3, 2022, in San Antonio, Texas, at the Village at Incarnate Word where she had been a resident since January 2015. She was born on August 29, 1933, in San Antonio, Texas, to Dr. Edwin Leo Mueller and Nellie Salter Mueller. Margaret received most of her education from the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, CCVI – first in elementary school at St. Peter Prince of the Apostles and later at Incarnate Word campus for high school and college where she completed her studies obtaining a BS in Elementary Education.  Margaret was active in school and participated in various clubs, including being President of the Student Council in high school, choir, and basketball. As young children, Margaret and her brothers and sisters, Nellie, Eddie, Jack, Betty, Jimmy, and Bill enjoyed spending the summer months at Lake McQueeney where they would meet their cousins for skiing, boating, and swimming. Margaret often participated in the Lake Breeze ski show.

On February 12, 1955, Margaret married Richard (Dick) Louis Wolf, a 1st Lieutenant pilot stationed at Hondo Air Force Base. She and Dick settled in Dallas and raised seven children: Laura, Anna, Susan, Barbara, Martha, David, and John. Margaret was active with her children’s school activities where she volunteered at their schools, churches, and Presbyterian Hospital. Later, in San Antonio, she participated in church organizations such as Silver Stars, The Rosary Society, Mobile Loaves and Fishes, and Meals on Wheels. The family enjoyed many trips across America in the family station wagon, as it was important to both Margaret and Dick that the children could see and experience the different areas of the country. Margaret’s children all married, and she enjoyed spending time with their families and her 13 grandchildren.

Dick began showing signs of Alzheimer’s disease at the early age of 54 and passed away on October 6, 1998. Margaret was very active with the Alzheimer’s Association in the years leading up to and after his death—helping those dealing with the hardships of this disease.

Margaret married her widowed brother-in-law, Howard M. Wolf, on August 14, 1999, expanding the family to include 6 stepchildren and 14 step-grandchildren. Howard and Margaret enjoyed travel with family and friends and spent their summers in Illinois at their lake house on Wonder Lake, and winters at their house in San Antonio.

In 2015, Margaret and Howard moved into the Village at Incarnate Word, where they lived together until Howard passed on March 26, 2018. Margaret remained at the Village enjoying the companionship of the Sisters and her friends. She attended daily Mass and assisted twice a week taking Holy Communion to those in Nursing Care.

Margaret was preceded in death by her daughter, Anna Klein and son-in-law, Chuck Klein; parents, Dr. Edwin and Nellie Mueller; siblings, Nellie Kothmann, Dr. Edwin Mueller, Dr. Jack Mueller, Betty Conley, and Reverend James Mueller, S.M.

Margaret is survived by her brother, William Mueller, DDS (Jean); and her children, Laura Spears (Berry), Susan Robertson (Larry), Barbara Byrd (Mark), Martha Wolf (Rosa), David Wolf (Susan), and John Wolf (Dawn); and her grandchildren Emily Brown (Jake), Blake Johnson, Brian Robertson (Lauren), Katie Collins (Greg), Andy Spears (Emily), Ellie Walker (Kevin), Chris Wolf, Kelly Klein, Jason Wolf, Michelle Klein, Nicole Wolf, Amanda Busker (Dillon), Sara Ahaus (Todd); and 8 great-grandchildren.
