Ann Marie Murphy (nee Wolf) departed this life on Friday, Sept. 23, 2011, at the age of 51 following a motorcycle accident in Brainerd, Minn. 

She is survived by her husband, Michael, and her sons Thomas and Jon Murphy. She was the daughter of Mary Ann Wolf and sister of Michael (Lorie), Carolyn "Callie" Davidson, and is further survived by nieces and godchildren Cara Davidson and Arian Wolf, and nephew Jason Wolf and many other family and friends. 

Ann graduated from Brookfield Central High School and Waukesha County Technical College with a degree in fashion merchandising. She worked as a business administrator at the family business Wolf Pools & Spas Inc. for many years. 

Ann and Mike were united in marriage Aug. 1, 1981, and resided in Racine for 30 years. 

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference." Until we meet again. 

The Wolf family is celebrating her life from 2 p.m. until 5:45.p.m. Friday, Oct. 21, at St. Luke’s Catholic Church, 18000 W. Greenfield Ave., Brookfield, with a Mass at 6 p.m. Michael is still recovering from his injuries with his children by his side and they will be unable to attend. 

In lieu of flowers, memorials to the family or the Leukemia Society in honor of John R. Wolf (Ann’s father) would be greatly appreciated.
