Margery Hamilton Wolf, age 82, passed away on September 26, 2020 in Sebring, FL. Born on June 27, 1938 in Crystal Lake, Illinois, she was the daughter of Sterling and Ella (Kraeplin) Hamilton. She was married for 20 years to the love of her life, Henry G. Wolf II. She is survived by her loving children – Mark (Deborah) Wolf of Sebring, FL; Heidi Wolf Jones of Mount Dora, FL; Peter (Cathy) Wolf of Sebring, FL; brother – Sterling E. “Ham” Hamilton  of Phoenix, AZ; sister – Joan (Peter) Ahlgrim of Pine Bluff, AR; and 3 grandchildren – Rachel Wolf, Christopher  Wolf, and Heath Jones. She was preceded in death by her parents and husband.

Marge, the former Homecoming Queen and Miss Crystal Lake (IL), went on to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where she served her peers and community as President of the local chapter of the Delta Gamma sorority before receiving her teaching degree in Physical Education. After several years of teaching elementary physical education, she married Henry G. “Hank” Wolf II, and became wife and mother, raising their 3 children. Their journey took them from Lisle, IL, to Oak Park, IL, to Woodstock IL, to Louisville, KY, to Naperville, IL, to Dunedin, FL. When Marge returned to the workforce, she followed her calling of teaching once again, starting with Safety Harbor Middle School, before transitioning to Pharmaceutical sales with Roche Labs, where Hank had worked for almost 20 years prior to his passing. Marge became a Division Manager with Roche Labs, teaching other sales representatives how to excel in their field. When the opportunity presented itself to transition this job from Roche Labs to PDI sales, she chose to follow her connection with the dermatology division. When she retired, she moved from Dunedin,FL -  her home of 27 years -  to Sebring, FL, where she soon found a way to continue to follow her love of books by volunteering at the Sebring Public Library and teaching in the library at Heartland Christian School. Marge found a spiritual home at Sebring’s Emmanuel United Church of Christ, where she worked to serve on multiple committees and made many friends.

Marge loved nature, especially the birds that frequented her back yard, like cardinals and jays. She also loved the wildflowers that grew in her yard, especially the daisies. She enjoyed watching the Chicago Bulls play basketball on TV during the Michael Jordan era. She loved spending time with family and friends, weather it was short visits at home, or adventures with the grandkids. Marge loved cats, having had one or two a part of the family almost her entire adult life. Books, puzzles, and puzzle books were almost always a part of her daily routine. She had a long-time interest in Native American culture and the history of the Civil War. She enjoyed the opportunity to travel and socialize that the work provided and made it a point to stay in contact with people she had connected with throughout her life.
