Peggy M Wolfe

Born November 9, 1935 in Dallas, TX to Henry T. and Faye Chapman Shelby, she was raised in Dallas, TX. She graduated from W. H. Adamson High School. While vacationing with a friend the summer before graduation she met her future husband, Bassel Wolfe, at Possum Kingdom Lake. They married June 20, 1953 and remained married until his passing in September of 2020.

She spent 47 years as a teacher and director at Western Hills United Methodist Day School, now known as Western Hills Academy, where she made many life-long friends. Peggy retired in August of 2014 and spent several years taking care of her husband.

She is survived by her four children and their spouses: Tanya Loving (Wings), Dr. Perry T. Wolfe (Ana), Micaela Bean Mason (Rodger) and Shelby Wolfe-Power (Carl Alvarez). Also surviving her are 7 grandchildren and their spouses: April Delaware (Nick), Adam Loving (Sara Priddy), Taylor Wolfe (Mike Harris), P.T. Wolfe III, Reanna Bean Rodecap (Nick), Ryan Bean, and Deme Wolfe-Power (Andrew Stile). She has 12 great-grandchildren. Other relatives include her brother and his wife, Jerry and Phyllis Shelby; her brother-in-law and his wife, Wade and Jean Wolfe; her brother-in-law, Milton Sturman and many nieces and nephews.

Mom loved anything chocolate, sunflowers, and her happy hour Scotch (two fingers, a splash of water, and ice) with Dad and their friends Rex and Ellen Miller. Even after the Millers left El Paso, they would connect on Facetime and have lively conversations at 5:00 p.m.

The family wishes to thank the doctors at Texas Oncology for the care they gave mom in her last months. We also would like to thank Virginia, Judith, Tonya, and Maite from Home Instead who did everything to make her last days as enjoyable and comfortable as possible

Mom requested no services or memorials, only that she be cremated and her ashes be scattered along with her husband’s ashes, which will be private. If you would like to make a donation to a charity in her name, mom supported Public TV in El Paso/Las Cruces
