Katrin Wolf

Katrin Wolf lost her four-and-a-half-year battle with cancer, leaving her bereaved husband, Victor Edwards, their handsome rescue dog Carson, and their kitty, Sabina, behind to mourn her passing. Daughter of Jeanne McCombie Wolf and Jack Wolf, her siblings include Jeanne Marie Murphy of State College, Jack III (Kathleen) of Pittsburgh, Eric (Kate) of Altoona, and Thaddeus (Laura) of Ebensburg along with nieces (Grace, Meghan, Lauren), a nephew (Jack IV), and many McCombie & Wolf cousins.

Katrin was born in Ebensburg and lived there until venturing to Burlington, Vermont where she worked as an artist in many mediums. There she was introduced to jewelry making which became her passion and life’s work. An uncompromising individualist, Katrin “tried to make peace with the struggle to make a living, but to work from the soul.” Katrin’s art expressed her spiritual connection to the world around her and often depicted goddesses, winged ladies, tropical images, and elements of water.

Maintaining a winter residence near Tallahassee, Florida and spending summers at sister Jeanne’s farmhouse in Unionville, Centre County, Pennsylvania, Katrin and Vic had a dynamic lifestyle that included cross-country trips to select art festivals across America where they developed a coterie of artist friends who shared their lifestyle. Nothing made the couple happier than to have side-by-side booths at arts festivals in Jackson, WY, Ann Arbor, MI, or Miami, FL where Vic sold his rope & mahogany outdoor furniture and Katrin sold her award-winning jewelry and original paintings on silk and clothing. Travel to and from shows and to tropical destinations in the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America kept them on the road a lot, but that was the life they chose. They forged ahead and lived life to the fullest.

Her brothers and sister will miss her sweet vocals when they gathered on their parents’ porch in Ebensburg to make music. Katrin’s free spirit is now free of pain, and she will be remembered as the loving sister, aunt, and cousin who lived life on her own terms. Her spirit will live on in the art she has brought into the world – paintings, clothing, and heirloom jewelry that will be passed on for generations. Services will be held at a later date in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania.
