May 27, 1950– July 19, 2026___________________________________________
Roberta Wolf, 76, of Spearfish passed away July 19, 2026 at Monument Health, Rapid City.
Funeral services were held July 24 at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Eagle Butte.
Roberta Mae was born on May 27, 1950, to Mattie Jewitt. She attended Cheyenne-Eagle Butte High School before continuing her education at Holbrook High School in Arizona.
At Christmas in 1970, she married Teddy Wolf.
Roberta was kind-hearted. She welcomed strangers, enjoyed making new friends, and had a gift for reaching those who were often overlooked. She valued honesty and gave it freely, and she carried her sense of humor wherever she went.
Roberta showed her love by feeding people. She cooked constantly, kept a mountain of cookbooks, and lived by a simple rule: If a dish turned out well, she made it again; if it didn’t, she never made it twice.
She taught her children and grandchildren to sew, knit, and crochet, and made clothing and stuffed toys for them by hand.
Roberta was a member of the International Sundance family. For 55 years, she and Teddy made prayer sticks for the Sundance community, offering their hands, prayers, and devotion in service to others. Her daughter, Belinda, her son, Tommy, and her grandchildren, Laney and Lynnae, have honored her as Sundancers, carrying forward a sacred tradition that meant so much to her. Roberta was deeply appreciated by the International Sundance community and will be dearly missed.
Roberta is survived by her husband Teddy Wolf; her son Tommy Shaving and Nadine; her daughters Belinda Meteba and Will, Summer Di Gioia and Stephen, and Kristal Lemke and Peter; her grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and her brother Barney Wells.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Mattie Jewitt; her brother, Wendell Deer With Horns; her sister; her sister’s children; and her granddaughter, Tiffany Shaving.
Luce Funeral Home of Gettysburg was in charge of arrangements.
