Bernice Fix Wolf

Bernice Fix Wolf passed away peacefully on May 31, 2023, surrounded by her family after experiencing her 96th Spring. She was born on January 17, 1927, in Cincinnati, Ohio. She was preceded in death by her parents, Arthur H and Lillian K Fix, her loving husband, Raymond B Wolf, her four siblings, F Jerome Fix, DVM, Arthur H Fix, MD, Audre Sedacca, and Jo Breslin, and two nieces, Darcy Fix and Jana Sedacca.

Bernice is also survived by what she considered her greatest creations, her three children, Randall K Wolf, MD, Bradley R Wolf, MD (Maria), and Leslie R Dye, MD (Brian). The other highlights of her life were her four grandchildren, Andrea R Frazier, MD (Kendall), Kevin Wolf, Travis Wolf, and Aleksander Wolf. The newest shining star of the family is her great grandson, Matthew A Frazier. Bernice also has many nieces and nephews who adore her.

The last couple of years were spent on the Bright, Indiana farm where she raised her family at the home of her oldest son, Randall. She was cared for by wonderful caretakers, who made her last two years the best they could be.

Bernice graduated from Terrace Park High School and the University of Cincinnati with degrees in teaching and botany. She loved tennis, golf, dancing with Ray, and the outdoors, particularly trees, flowers, and clouds. Her constant appreciation of nature was clear as she voiced it almost daily. This love of nature was translated into many of her beautiful landscape oil paintings.

After finishing her teaching career in southern Indiana, she moved to Coffeyville, Kansas. Her husband Ray was transferred there and said it was easy to see the heel marks all the way from Indiana where he had to drag her. As she wanted to make the world a better place, she served as city commissioner and vice-mayor of Coffeyville. She was a hospital volunteer, a member of rotary, and a bell ringer for the Salvation Army. She was featured in Who’s Who of America and traveled worldwide with her husband and family. Since her 18th birthday, she voted in every election, even minor local ones.

She moved back to Ohio and settled in Loveland where family, swimming, and bridge were her priorities. Rarely did a day go by that she didn’t speak to one of her siblings. She did not suffer fools, poor grammar, or slow bridge players.  She stood up for what she believed was right, was a consummate patriot, one of the strongest women ever born, and loved fiercely. Not only was she brilliant and beautiful, but she was also unforgettable and made the world a better place. A family graveside service is planned. A celebration of life is planned in the coming months. In lieu of flowers, please vote Conservative and never end a sentence in a preposition.
