Peter “Pete” Wolff passed away peacefully on April 15, 2026, in St. Louis, just days before his 93rd birthday.

Beloved husband of Jo Ann Wolff.  Dear father of Jamie (Mark “Buddy”) Adolphsen and Sam (Kim Lane) Wolff. Loving grandfather of Caitlin (Chiranth) Kishore, Jasper Sappho and Madison (Darquez Morrison) Adolphsen, Emmett and Ellis Wolff. Dear brother of the late Werner (Jeanne) Wolff. Beloved brother-in-law of Samuel (the late Tamar) Fishman and the late Melba (the late Eddie) Levinsky. Doting “parent” to his dog, Frankie. Dear uncle, cousin and friend.

Pete was born on April 28, 1933, in Hindenburg, Germany. A Holocaust survivor, he left Germany with his family to live in China and later Uruguay before coming to the United States with his mother, father, and brother.

A proud veteran, Pete served in the United States Army for three years and became a United States citizen in 1953. In April 1982, Pete and his beloved wife Jo Ann opened The Gift Nook on Historic Main Street in St. Charles. They ran the gift store for over 40 years, closing in December 2023. He enjoyed talking with customers, sharing stories, and being part of the community there.

Pete was always ready with a joke and a smile. He loved spending time with his family, watching sports, and going out to get a “bite to eat”. More than anything, he enjoyed being around the people he loved. Pete will be deeply missed and remembered for his sense of humor, his resilience, and his love for his family.

A funeral service honoring Pete’s life will be held at New Mt. Sinai Cemetery, 8430 Gravois Road, on Monday, April 20 at 11:00am. Live stream available at www.rindskopfroth.com. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum, 36 Millstone Campus Dr, St. Louis, MO 63146.
