Janaan was born Oct. 7, 1934, in Savannah, Ill, daughter of Howard and Elizabeth (Sloan) Christ. Howard passed away shortly after Janaan’s birth, so she was raised by her mother and her second father, Joseph Hirsch. She graduated from Dubuque Senior High School in 1952.
On June 30, 1956, she married Robert Wolf. She was so looking forward to celebrating her 62nd wedding anniversary and her grandson's wedding on June 30, 2018. As it turned out, she had the best seat in the house. Bob was by her side day and night while she fought a courageous battle with this terrible disease.
She is survived by her husband, Robert R. Wolf; a daughter, Sheila (Jeff) Pillard; a son, Tim (Bobbi) Wolf; grandchildren, Rachel (Reid) Oberle, Matthew (Lindsey) Pillard, Ashley (Ricky) Seely and Robert Wolf; great-grandchildren, Avyanah Seely and Brock and Bo Oberle; two siblings, Jim (Donna) Hirsch and Joanne Loysen; and brothers-in-law, Joe Lent and Dennis (Gen) Wolf.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Howard Christ and Joseph and Elizabeth Hirsch; sister, Janet Lent; and granddaughters, Erin and Amy Wolf.
Memorials may be made to Camp Courageous, Hospice of Dubuque or St. Matthew Lutheran Church.
