Barbara Wolfe Obituary

Barbara "Barb" Wolfe, age 74, passed away on July 3, 2025 in Akron, Ohio after a lengthy illness. She was born on June 21, 1951 in Welch, West Virginia. 


Barb did so much throughout her life to help those around her and cared deeply about her friends and family. She will be remembered for her kindness to others, her infectious laugh, her crazy sense of humor, her love of all things Elvis, and for her noble, though usually futile, attempts to win at Monopoly and Rook. If you were her friend, she would do anything in the world for you. Usually, you would describe the size of someone's generous heart as "the size of Texas", but in her case we'll say "the size of Graceland". She will be missed deeply by those whose lives she touched.


She is preceded in death by her parents, Leonard and Lula Wolfe. She is survived by her son, Christopher Wolfe of Covington, KY; siblings, Leonard (Judy) Wolfe of Batavia, OH, and Sharon Wolfe and Paula Stefan of Norton, OH; and her nephews and nieces. She is also survived by many wonderful friends who were like family to her.


Friends may call at the Cox-McNulty Funeral Home in Barberton, Ohio from 1:00-2:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 19, 2025, with a Celebration of Barb's life immediately following the visitation.
