Diana Wolfe, 71

“Hi friends, I wanted to let you know that my work here on earth is complete. March 4, 2021, in Kalispell, I received an invite, a sort of offer you can’t refuse, from an appointment from which I won’t be returning. This opportunity comes with unbelievable perks such as a chance to be with the Lord all day every day, and a reunion with family and friends whom I haven’t seen in decades! It is beautiful that the simple things I enjoyed most on earth are amplified tenfold here. A few of those were cats (especially my Lucy), bonfires, black licorice and the beach. What I really enjoyed though, and thoroughly excelled at was spreading joy. I love to laugh and by doing so showed many people the heart of Jesus. Some of my favorite opportunities to do so were on multiple ministry trips to Thailand with my close friends. Speaking of other locations, I was born in Montebello, California, and spent much of my adult life there, primarily employed by the grocery store. In the early ‘90s my family and I ventured to the rugged territory of mountainous Montana. In Montana I developed a love of hiking and cross-country skiing, which I did frequently. Throughout the mountains and valleys of my life, I believed light always overcomes the darkness and I chose to live this way.

“I am survived by my former spouse Rick Wolfe, daughter and husband Kelli and Jeff Crimmins, brothers Jeffrey and Dennis Booth and wife Deborah, wonderful nieces and nephews, as well as close friends Karen Reneau and Candy Nelson.

“I am joined in heaven by my parents Phillip and Berlett Booth, brother and sister Richard and Jackie Booth, and cat, Lucy.

“This is authored in first person because I did not want to live in the past, only the present. As I always said, ‘Life’s too short not to have fun!’”

A memorial service will be officiated by Pastor Ben Burdick at the Little Brown Church (125 Swan Highway) in Bigfork on Saturday, April 17, at 1 p.m. The service is open to the public. There will be no reception.
