Vera M. Wolf

BARRE – Vera Mae Wolf, 91, of Jefferson Street passed away on Tuesday, September 22, 2020 at the Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin with family at her bedside.

Born February 20, 1929 in Marshfield, she was the daughter of Hubert and Lena (Decoteau) Croteau. Vera attended grade school at Hollister Hill School and graduated from Marshfield High School in 1948.

On June 18, 1948 she married Lewis R. Wolf and they spent the first few years of their marriage living in Marshfield. They later moved to Pennsylvania where one of their four children were born. After many years in Pennsylvania, they returned to Vermont and settled on Foster Street in Barre.

Vera worked at Sprague Electric in Barre. She retired after working there for 30 years.

After her husband passed away, Vera lived on Brook Street in Barre and later moved to Jefferson Street where she lived until her passing. While there she made many new friends and enjoyed life to the fullest.

Vera was a great quilt maker and made quilts for all those she loved. She also loved to read. Vera read every single day and also kept a daily journal of all her life events.

The highlight of the Croteau Christmas party every year was the beautiful Christmas quilt she made which was raffled off with the proceeds used to give gifts to family members who were ill or in the hospital.

Vera was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary and the Women of the Moose Lodge and Marshfield United Church. Among her favorite hobbies was going to lawn sales, attending family functions, decorating her home for the holidays and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
