Linda Lee Wolf

Linda Wolf passed away on January 31, 2025 in Prescott, Arizona. Linda was a light in this often-turbulent world. She will be deeply missed.

Linda spent her early years growing up in small cities near Los Angeles. At age nine, her family moved to Topanga Canyon. It was a magical time when children could run free. Linda met her life-long partner and husband, Rudi Wolf, during high school. They were married soon after and were together for 66 years.

In 1965, Linda, Rudi, and their three sons moved to Goleta where Linda promptly volunteered for the Historical Society. She worked for Santa Barbara’s Visiting Nurses Association (16 years) and Botanic Gardens (6 years), jobs she loved.

When Linda and Rudi moved to Prescott, Arizona, in 2001, Linda became volunteer coordinator for the new Highland Center for Natural History. She kept the position for 8 years—all as a volunteer!

In 2013, Linda was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Displaying her characteristic hopeful attitude and sweet disposition Linda fought the disease for eleven years. Her ready laugh and childlike smile is dearly missed.

Linda is survived by Rudi and their three sons, Robert, Scott, and Brian.
