Paul Frederick Wolff was born April 26, 1944, in Cresco, Iowa, to Frederick and Dorothy (Miller) Wolff. He earned a degree in History from the University of Minnesota and went on to graduate from Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. He married JoAnn Luedke on December 28, 1968, in Delano, Minnesota.

Paul loved his family and was especially fond of holding his grandchildren when they were newborns. He served the Lord for 39 years at many churches in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Illinois, and brought many to a deeper relationship with Christ through his preaching. In his spare time, he enjoyed fishing in Northern Minnesota, woodworking, cooking, and baking cinnamon rolls. He loved playing cribbage and watching the Minnesota Vikings.

Paul is survived by his devoted wife of 51 years, JoAnn; three children, Jonathan (Jackie) Wolff of Minnetonka, Minnesota, Mary Jo Wolff of Bettendorf, and Angela (Cody) DeCook of Eldridge; five grandchildren, Ella, Ava, Joseph and Isabelle Wolff, and James DeCook; siblings, Marie (Duane) Benson of Northfield, Minnesota, Steve Wolff of Onamia, Minnesota, Lois Wolff of St. Paul, and Kathy Grant of Spring, Texas; mother-in-law, Ardis Luedke of Watertown, Minnesota; and nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by a stillborn daughter; his parents; father-in-law, Paul Luedke; and brothers-in-law, James (Elaine) Luedke and Ruben Grant.
