Evelyn Marie (Pistulka) Wolf was born on the Ides of March (15th), 1931 in Fairfax, SD as the youngest daughter to George and Rosie (Ziska) Pistulka Sr. She was raised on the family farm north of Fairfax during the difficult thirties and wartime forties. She graduated from Fairfax High School in 1949 and worked at the Burke State Bank in Bonesteel, SD for a short while following graduation.

Evelyn was united in marriage to Richard (Dick) Wolf on August 23, 1950 at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church of Fairfax. The new couple lived briefly in Fairfax before moving to Butte, NE for about a year. Their first child Jesse Warren was born during this year. They moved back to Fairfax where they farmed for the next 14 years. During this time Joseph Paul, Jack Jeffrey, and Sherry Jean were born.

In the fall of 1966 they moved to Atkinson, NE where they ran the Round Up Bar until Dick’s death in 1975. During their time in Atkinson children Julian and Jay Raymond were born. She spent the next few years raising Jay and eventually became the school secretary at St. Joseph’s Elementary School until her retirement at age 75. Evelyn had two great pastimes, bowling and attending her children’s school activities. She was the first woman bowler in Atkinson to ever bowl a 600 series. She and her team attended state bowling tournaments almost annually.

Family was very important to her and she loved when all of her family could be around for holiday, birthdays, and other family events. While she occasionally noted how much work it all was, she was proudest when everyone was there.

Evelyn was a member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church and Altar Society of Atkinson and a past member of St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in Fairfax.

Surviving Evelyn are sons Jess and Loxi Wolf of Hartington, Jack and Linda Wolf of Atkinson, and Jay Wolf of Lincoln; grandchildren and great grandchildren Jim and Erin Wolf, Presley, Gavin, and Rowan of Battle Creek, Jared and Amy Wolf, Addison, Karlee, and Jase of Stuart, and Jon and Hannah Wolf of O’Neill; older sister Irene and Paul Donovan of Omaha; sisters in law Diane Williams of Vermillion, SD and Dorothy Pistulka of Fairfax, SD and brother in law Don Hausmann of Bonesteel, SD, and many nieces and nephews.

Preceding Evelyn in death were her husband Dick, parents George and Rosie Pistulka, children Joseph, Sherry, and Julian (all preemies), brother George Pistulka, Jr. sister Berniece Hausmann, brothers and sisters in law Ray and Vervil Wolf, Duane and Jeannie Ertz, and John Williams.
