Mildred Grace Wolfe, age 95 years, of Hillsborough Township, NJ, died peacefully on Monday, December 16, 2024, at Foothill Acres Care Center.

Daughter of the late Anna (Olsen) and Carl Christenson, Mildred was born on April 13, 1929, and raised in Lambertville, NJ.

She graduated from Lambertville High School in 1948, where she excelled in business classes and enjoyed singing in the school choir. Her love of music continued throughout her life, whether listening to music or dancing to it. Mildred later moved to Ringoes, NJ, where she raised her family.

For twenty years, she worked at the Department of Education in Trenton. She later discovered her passion for being a companion and caregiver to the elderly. Over the years, she cared for several local seniors ranging in age from eighty-seven to one hundred and eight. She thrived on tailoring her visits to each person’s needs, whether it involved household chores, playing board games, or reading to the blind.

Mildred was ahead of her time with her interest in healthy living. She regularly listened to radio programs pertaining to nutrition. Even in her eighties, she participated in yoga classes and could regularly be seen working out at Planet Fitness. Mildred was also a long-time member of Kirkpatrick Presbyterian Church.

Mildred was predeceased by siblings, Lillian Stevens and Carl Christenson, and her grandson, Ryan Alley.

She is survived by her daughter, Bonnie Alley; her son, Lanny Wolfe and his wife, Debra; her grandchildren, Christopher Wolfe and his wife, Sarah, Brian Wolfe and his wife, Kristin, and their daughter, Mildred’s great granddaughter, Lucilla Wolfe, Michael Tauriello, and Nicole Tauriello; and many dear friends.

Family and friends will gather on Monday, January 13, 2025, from 10:00-11:00 a.m. in the Chapel of Wright & Ford Family Funeral Home, 38 State Highway 31, Flemington, NJ.
