At the age of 10, Irma was caretaker for her siblings when her mother passed away. 
 

On June 11, 1935, she was united in marriage to Edward A. Wolf in a double wedding along with her father Theodore and Clara Streslar at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Marshfield. 
 

She and her husband farmed near Chili in the town of Fremont, Clark County, for many years. She also helped her father start the Hauke Honey Business.

After retirement in 1977, she enjoyed fishing, gardening and knitting, especially knitting kitty mittens for all the grandchildren. 
 

After the death of her husband in 1987, she moved next to her daughter Elaine Schneider and due to ill health, she moved to Country View Assistant Living on East McMillan, Auburndale.
