August 19, 1922 — September 12, 2012
Struthers - Raymond H. Wolfe, 90, of Struthers, died peacefully Wednesday evening at Masternick Memorial Health Care Center.
Ray was born August 19, 1922 in Youngstown, a son of Karl and Velia Maturo Wolfe. He lived in Youngstown until moving to Struthers in 1959.
