Edna Helen Wolfe (née Brown)
July 1, 1931 – October 20, 2024
In loving memory, we announce the peaceful passing of Edna Helen Wolfe on October 20, 2024, at Bay Ridges Long Term Care Home in Pickering, Ontario. Edna was 93 years old and will be fondly remembered by her family and friends.
Born in Mineola, New York, Edna was the youngest of four daughters to Jeanie (née Deans) and John Brown. Raised in Glasgow, Scotland, she met her beloved husband, the late George Forbes Wolfe, with whom she shared a beautiful life. The two married in April 1954 before immigrating to Canada to begin their new journey together.
Edna’s big heart and devotion to family were central to her life. She cared deeply for her family, including her children Alan (Linda) and Alison (Eric), niece Joan (Chester, predeceased), nephew John (Debra), cousin Linda (Brian), and her treasured grandchildren Desiree, Danielle, Matthew, and Alanna. She will also be missed by many extended family members and friends.
Known for her sharp humor and love of life, Edna enjoyed reading, crosswords, knitting, tennis, and golf. She and George shared a vibrant social life filled with bridge, dances, and gatherings, and Edna was often the life of the party, sharing joy and laughter with all.
