Elaine Gail (Roffman) Wolfe, 84 passed away peacefully at home on September 10, 2025 surrounded by her loving family. Elaine was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and cherished member of the Temple David community. She was born on November 16, 1940, in Baltimore, Maryland, and married Harvey Wolfe, on September 13, 1959. Together they raised four children Dr. Andrew (Roni) Wolfe, Bonnie (Ted) Bloom, Rabbi Stephanie Wolfe, and Shoshanah (Brian) Drake and were blessed with five grandchildren Kira Wolfe, Molly Wolfe, Trevor Drake, Sarah (Jonathan) Stone, and Paige Lang, all of whom brought her endless joy.

Elaine's heart was most at home in the kitchen. An extraordinary cook and baker, she poured love into every dish she prepared, and her happiest moments were spent sharing meals and laughter with family and friends.

Her devotion extended deeply into her spiritual community at Temple David, where she was an integral presence for decades. In the 1970s, Elaine served as secretary to Rabbi Jason Edelstein and continued to serve the Temple with passion and purpose throughout her life. Among her many contributions, she organized and ran an off-site blood bank for over 30 years to honor her father's memory, a cause deeply meaningful to her. She also served as Sisterhood President, Principal of the Religious School, and produced the Yizkor memorial book since 2011.

As her children grew older, Elaine worked for the Jewish Federation of Pittsburgh as a secretary in the communications department, where her talents for organization and dedication shone just as brightly as they did in her volunteer work.

Elaine lived a life of love, service, and community. She nurtured her family with the same dedication she gave to Temple David and everyone fortunate enough to know her. Her warmth, her generosity, and her boundless energy will be deeply missed but forever cherished.

She leaves behind a legacy of devotion to family, faith, and friendship, a legacy that will live on in the lives she touched.
