Leonard Leroy Wolfe

Leonard Leroy Wolfe, 83 of Mifflinville, passed away Thursday, November 12, 2015 at the Berwick Hospital Center Emergency Room after being stricken at his home. He was born November 23, 1931 in Mifflinville, a son to the late Lawrence and Nellie (Bredbenner) Wolfe. Leonard attended Mifflinville schools. Before retiring, he worked for 46 years and 8 months at the former Magee Carpet Company in Bloomsburg and at the Cryder farms for 34 years. Known as the "Mayor of Mifflinville," he was a life member of the Mifflinville Fire Company and Forest Rangers. Attending Knecht auctions was one of his favorite past times, as Olen Knecht was a close friend and neighbor. He was especially fond of his pet cat, "Sis," whom he lost earlier this year. However, his greatest love was spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who loved him and will dearly miss him. Surviving Leonard are seven children: James Wolfe, at home; Shirley Baker and her husband, Roland, Sr., Mifflinville; Susan Ross and her husband, Phillip, Mifflinville; Kathy Patterson and her husband, Nathan, Berwick; Bonnie Shaffer and her husband, Dennis, Bloomsburg; Connie Hess and her husband, Douglas, Bloomsburg; and Nancy Wolfe, Bloomsburg.
