In her early childhood years the family moved to Sidney, MT. Carolyn attended school in Sidney graduating in 1954. In 1953 she met Helmut Wolff at a young people’s party at the First Baptist Church, and on January 30, 1955 they were married. Helmut was the love of her life.
In 1959, they moved to Rapid City, SD and in October of 1963 were blessed to adopt their daughter Brenda. The family then moved back to Sidney in 1969 and ran the family farm with her brother Don. As a family they enjoyed many trips to Germany to visit Helmut’s family. These were treasured family memories.
Carolyn’s job experiences include, while still in high school, she worked at Security Abstract which was then an insurance company for one to two years. She also worked at Credit Bureau and Gambles. When they moved to Rapid City she was able to transfer to Gambles there and also worked at American National Bank. While in Rapid City they were very involved in their church and had many friends they spent time with. Upon returning to Sidney she again worked at Gambles. She was also a World Book Encyclopedia distributor for 15 years which she really enjoyed. During that time she was able to travel to several surrounding communities and always enjoyed meeting new people as she was very enthusiastic sharing knowledge with others.
Then in 1986, Carolyn and Helmut purchased Juli Ana’s Gifts from their good friends Clayton and Marilyn Rothman. Carolyn retired after 25 years. While working at Juli Ana’s she always enjoyed talking with customers and assisting in finding the right gift. People always commented that they loved going in her store and seeing all of the pretty things.
Carolyn and Helmut were very active in their church and church activities. Their home was always open to family and friends with whom they could often be found enjoying a game of rook. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Throughout her life she always shared her faith with others, as she was involved with teaching Sunday school and junior church with children of the community. Time spent with family, BBQing, fishing, visiting and playing games with family was a treasured time. Carolyn spent the last four and a half years at the nursing home in Culbertson.
