Linda Louise Wolf

Linda Louise Wolf, 85, of Theilman, Minnesota passed away peacefully at Whitewater Health Services in Saint Charles, Minnesota. She was born on January 31, 1941, in Millville, Minnesota to Ray and Hazel (Sommers) Gilsdorf.
Linda married the love of her life Gerald Wolf they were married for 63 years before Jerry passed away. They started their lives in Lake City and then moved to Theilman in the country where they farmed and raised 9 kids. Linda’s interests were taking care of her children, the baby animals on the farm and gardening. Along with always supporting her husband.
She had little time for hobbies but managed to do a few. One of her addictions was tea, so she started collecting tea pots. Many tea pots. She also had a knack for decorating cakes. Anywhere from birthdays, graduations even wedding cakes. She became well known for wedding cakes.
As her children grew older and started moving out, she took up a few other hobbies, like drawing, painting and even dabbling in the quilt making process.
Linda will always be missed and loved, but one thing people will always think of is how she never left the house without a hat. Softball hats, dress hats, you name it she had a hat for every occasion.
Linda is survived by her loving family, Dale (Val) Wolf of Plainview, John (Nancy) Wolf of Lake City, Deb (Kyle) Karger of Saint Charles, Lori (Lennie) Holst of Plainview, Barb (Bruce) Siem of Plainview, Dan (Angie) Wolf of Bowels, Dave (Jenny) Wolf of Theilman, and Jill (Bill) Phillips of Saint Charles; 19 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren; and a brother Mark (Dorthy) Gilsdorf.
