You are now free from life's hard paths rest in peace Spirited Johanna "Hanni" Elisabeth (Schwarz) Wolferts Passed away the morning of Oct 10, 2002, at age 89. Born November 10, 1912, in Barmen (now Wuppertal), Germany, the second youngest of six children born to Johann Otto Paul Schwarz and Helene Elisabeth Married childhood friend Hans Herbert Wolferts on June 1, 1934. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. In October 1959, she and her family immigrated to Salt Lake City, Utah. A life member of the LDS Church, she served faithfully in many callings including District Relief Society president, Branch Relief Society president, Laurel advisor and Ordinance worker.
Though the war-years left their mark, she never failed to meet the challenges of life with spontaneity, humor, prayer, and faith. She cherished her association with friends and family, but never to the exclusion of the needy and neglected, including animals. Gifted with a beautiful soprano voice she often sang in church meetings, instilling in her sons an appreciation for religious and folk music. She has left a lasting legacy by writing her life's story, which stands as an enduring and loving witness to her family, and to the faith and courage with which she lived. Though talented in many ways, she will be remembered most in the hearts of those she helped in times of need and whose lives she so profoundly touched.
Surely, she is sorely missed. Those who share her convictions have the certainty that she will be reunited with them again eternally through Christ and his covenants. Johanna is survived by her husband, Hans, sons Ralph (Judy) and Edgar (Jane), brother Rudolf "Rudi" (Irmgard), sister-in-law Anne Kleinkopf of Twin Falls, Idaho, sisterin-law Gertrud Wolferts of Wuppertal, Germany, eight grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
