In this heartfelt interview, Irene Wolf, 87, shares her journey of growing up on a small farm west of Killdeer, North Dakota, in a large family without electricity, running water, affection, or holiday traditions. Irene left after eighth grade, worked in a Dickinson restaurant, and married George, a cowboy and brand inspector, at 17; they moved often, ranched for 38 years, and were married 69 years. She reflects on losing their infant daughter Jodie to a severe heart defect and their son Rodney at 23 to cardiomyopathy, and on George’s recent death after complications from a ruptured colon, including his final words of love. Irene credits faith, kindness, and contentment, describes “pretend kids” they helped raise, recalls trips like Kodiak Island, Alaska, and shares cherished memories such as George gifting her a large rock.
