Joyce Cordrey Wolfgang, 61
LAUREL - Joyce Cordrey Wolfgang passed away peacefully Sunday, April 29, 2007, in her home surrounded by her family. She was 61.
She was the daughter of the late Sirman and Lennie Cordrey.
Mrs. Wolfgang graduated from Laurel High School in 1963 (reigning as Miss Laurel 1962) and from Beebe School of Nursing in 1966.
She was employed as a registered nurse at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital for 40 years and at Methodist Manor House for 20 years.
Mrs. Wolfgang was a member of the Delaware Nurses Association. She mentored many of the hospital's nursing staff, both past and present. Her years of experience, her knowledge base and her down-to-earth approach won her respect of all who knew her. Joyce will be remembered as a steadfast friend to hundreds.
She is survived by her husband of 40 years, Leon Wolfgang; a daughter and a son-in-law, Tammy and Steve Conover of Berryville, Va.; a son and a daughter-in-law, Christopher and Crystal Wolfgang and their children, Cody and Carly of Purcellville, Va.; three sisters, Agnes Mitchell of Delmar, Md., Ruth Ann Brumbley of Delmar, Del. and Eleanor Jones of Laurel; and several nieces and nephews.
Friends may pay their respects from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday in Hannigan, Short, Disharoon Funeral Home, 700 West St., Laurel.
Funeral services will be 2 p.m. Thursday in the funeral home, where friends may call two hours earlier.
Burial will be in Odd Fellow's Cemetery, Laurel.
Instead of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to the newly established Joyce Wolfgang Memorial Nursing Scholarship fund, Development Office, c/o Tom Brown, 801 Middleford Road, Seaford, DE 19973.
