Tulsa, Oklahoma - Amelia Inez Wolf, known as Emily or Aunt Mellie to her many nieces and nephews, passed away at the age of 85 on Feb. 25, 2026. She was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on Sept. 26, 1940, the youngest of eight children, to Guadalupe and Manuel Diaz.

Emily was raised in the shadow of Little Flower Church, where her father worked in the print shop for the Carmelite fathers. The close-knit neighborhood and the church fostered lifelong friendships and a strong devotion to the Catholic faith.

Emily attended St. Mary's High School, where she was a cheerleader, enjoyed attending football games and the Friday night sock-hops. After high school she married and had four boys: Michael, Stephen, Edward and Matthew. She became an expert in everything related to raising boys, a licensed practical nurse, and a passionate Notre Dame football fan.

She later married John Wolf of Enid, Oklahoma, and gained a daughter, Sherri, and son, Phillip. After retiring, she volunteered at the hospital gift shop until John also retired, and they traveled the U.S. as RV nomads, making friends wherever they went. They eventually settled in Casa Grande, AZ, where she was very happy playing cards and socializing with her friends. After John's passing she moved to Town Village in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she was known for her outgoing personality and colorful coordinated outfits.

Emily was preceded in death by her parents, Guadalupe and Manuel; her husband, John Wolf; her son, Edward; and her siblings, Manuel, Edward, Estella, Carmen, Mary Helen and John.

She is survived by sister Esther Hulse; son Michael Bradshaw (DeLaina) and children Sheridan, Max, Erika, Lauren, Erik and Derik; son Stephen Bradshaw (Eileen) and children Lucie, Brendan and Clare; son Matthew Bradshaw (Shelley) and child Josh; daughter Sherri Lunday (Rick) and children Jennifer and Cory; and son Phillip Wolf (Mindy) and children Greyson, Harrison and Jackson. There are many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews who will miss Aunt Mellie.

Mass of Christian burial will be 2:00 p.m. Friday, March 6, 2026, at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, with Father Mark Mason. A Rosary will be 6:00 Thursday evening at Anderson-Burris Funeral Home.

The family wants to acknowledge the truly professional and compassionate nursing staff and doctors at St. John's hospital in Tulsa who took care of Emily in her final days.
