Josephine Audrey Wolfe

February 23, 1935 - December 23, 2020

Josephine A. Wolfe (known as Jo), age 85, passed away on December 23, 2020 after an extended illness. Jo was born in Albion, MI to Archie and Elsie (Seifert) Harris, one of seven children. Jo moved to Litchfield, MI in the mid 1950’s and soon became an active member of the Litchfield United Methodist Church where she enjoyed singing in the choir. Jo moved to Decatur, GA in 1981 where, considering herself a lifelong learner, she attended college, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Georgia State University. During her life, Jo was a restaurant owner, an administrative assistant, and a teacher. Jo’s favorite job was teaching. She particularly enjoyed teaching English as a Second Language to adult learners. Jo enjoyed spending time with family and friends, meeting new people, cooking, and reading (especially a good mystery). Jo is survived by three children: Walter “Chip” Rathbun, Diana (Josh) Brookins, and Judd (Joy) Wolfe. She also leaves behind six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, two husbands, four sisters, and two brothers. Due to Covid-19 a memorial gathering to celebrate Jo’s life will take place at a later date.
