Eduviges G. Wolf, 24

Army, Sergeant

Based: Ft. Carson, Colo.

704th Brigade Support Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division

Supporting: Operation Enduring Freedom

Died: October 25, 2009

Kunar province, Afghanistan

Married, 2 children

Gender: Female

Hometown: Hawthorne

High School: Leuzinger High (Lawndale)

From a young age, Wolf was responsible and focused, a tomboy who always kept her hair pulled back in a tight ponytail and wanted to run around outside when her cousins wanted to play with dolls or experiment with makeup. She and her husband Army Sgt. Josh Wolf were both deployed to Afghanistan this summer and their young daughters, Valeri and Isabel, stayed with their grandparents in South Dakota. Wolf talked about missing Valeri's first birthday and not being able to pick out a Halloween costume with Isabel, who was 3. But that didn't mean she was any less enthusiastic about her career in the military. Wolf told her family that her time in Afghanistan was fulfilling, and she reenlisted for another three years just a week before she was killed.

To Edugives Husband and Children:

My heart goes out to each of you, and especially her two little girls. I'm so sad that she had to give her life for something that is given to all from Jehovah God,Free
(Freedom to Live, Enjoy Life and be Happy)

She certainly did what she felt was right. Our Heavenly Father has promised that soon he will put an end to all wars and war instruments, so that fine people like Eduviges will not ever again have to leave husbands and two little girls again.

She had a good heart to want to lend a hand in gaining freedom. She has not died in vain in the sight of God. He will remember her!!!! I know these few words do not removed the pain, but I hope that they will bring some comfort.

Just a few words to remember:

Pray
Until
Something
Happens.

Just PUSH

Eduviges “Duvi” Guadalupe Preciado Wolf was born on February 12, 1985, (Lincoln’s Birthday), in Cocula, Jalisco, Mexico to Miguel and Ana Maria Preciado. In the late 1980’s Duvi’s family moved to CA. They eventually moved to Hawthorne. While attending Leuzinger High School she joined the J.R.O.T.C. program and was promoted to Battalion XO, or second in command before she graduated.

When I met Duvi she was 15, two of her sisters, Cecilia and Ana were graduating from the South Bay Regional Law Enforcement Explorer Academy. She followed in their footsteps and graduated, also. I remember teasing her because when she was in uniform she wouldn’t smile, she always said it didn’t look professional.

Duvi earned her promotion to Explorer Sergeant in January of 2003 and became an Explorer Lieutenant in June of 2003, the highest rank at the time.

She was a Drill Instructor for the South Bay Regional Law Enforcement Explorer Academy from Class #44 through Class #47.

Whenever there was a project to be done she was the first to volunteer, whether it was something fun or a work event. There were many assignments for the Post from fingerprinting to directing traffic, translating Spanish to grading notebooks, etc. We had fun, too and could usually be found at Denny’s when the project was over.

The Academy was running smoothly, when Duvi told me she had joined the Army and would be leaving in early November. The Drill Instructor’s and the Explorers were heartbroken that she wouldn’t be there for graduation, but it was time for Duvi to move forward to a new chapter in her life.

When Duvi met Josh she found her prince, whenever she was around him she glowed. I was lucky enough to meet him when they came home for a visit. When they had Isabel I received pictures and Duvi was now a Mom.

She was mature beyond her years; she chose to take the more difficult path in life when many young people would have taken the easy way. Every person she came in contact with walked away a little smarter, a little more caring, a little more humble. For you see, Duvi was an example of what’s good in this life, she was honest, loyal, trustworthy, dedicated, loving, tough, (when she needed to be), quick to smile, tell a joke and make everyone feel at ease. She was one of those rare individuals that did what was right, because it was right, not because someone was watching her.

Duvi was all of this and more, there will forever be a hole in our hearts from her absence. She was a shining example of the good in this world. She made all of us who were lucky enough to know her proud. I am honored to be able to call her my friend. Her legacy will be carried forward through her daughters Isabel and Valeri.

There is something special when a beautiful young woman, just barely out of her childhood puts herself in harms way to keep us free in the USA. I don't feel the citizens of the USA are behind the soldiers in this conflict, contrived or not, run properly and efficently to destroy terrorists for gloabl security and saftry, the fact is they are there. We older adults, and youths must demand that our fat and comfortable elected officials do more to not only protect our soldiers in harms way but get on a course of victory and eliminate multiple tours of duty that do harm to any human psyche and also increase the odds of harm.
I am saddened and ashamed and guilty that their young lives were cut short. All they would have, their future generations are not going to come through them. We owe protection and alliance to the youngsters that are overseas putting themselves in danger for us to make our elected officials get this on the course of victory and bring our soldiers home. We have the technology and the years of military strategy experience and knowlege to do this and do it now. In God's Name!

Tomorrow being Memorial Day, we remember the people who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country. I remember the day 1SG Ramerth called everyone down to the motorpool for a meeting. I was so confused with what was going on. To this day I remember hearing the crack in his voice when he told us you were gone. It was such a shock. You were always so bright and happy, even in the middle of a war torn 3rd world country. I remember how excited you were to go see your husband before you left on that convoy. All I could think about when I heard the news were your 2 little girls. They would never know their mother the way we all had. They wouldn't remember your laugh, your smile or your glowing presence. I still think about them and how your husband is doing with everything that happened. I know you've got a great seat up there in the skies above and I know you're watching everyone. We miss you Sergeant Wolf. Happy Memorial Day. You are not forgotten.

Till this very day I still have not forgotten you. Every year on Memorial Day and the anniversary I reflect on the memories that we had in the SSA and how much fun we had. And the times we had during a baby shower and meeting your new baby girl for the first time. I remember seeing you for the last time when you came to BAF to do your reenlistment and seeing how excited you were about doing any other 3 years. And when I heard about it, I was heart broken. I didn't want to believe it until I came back to JAF and that's all everyone would talk about. I remember thinking and talking about this with someone that she won't see her daughters grow up and see her husband again. It was a really sad week for all of us. You are always in our thoughts and our hearts no matter where we go. We miss you very much. You are never forgotten SGT Wolf NEVER!! I may be back out here again in Afghanistan but I will never forget you.

I grew up in Hawthorne CA and I graduated from the South Bay Regional Law Enforcement Explorer Academy in 1990. I am an Army Vet and I also taught at Leuzinger HS around the time she was a student. Unfortunately I did not know "Duvi" but she sounds like a true warrior, and I wish I had known her!!! It appears that we both had chosen similar paths and shared common real estate. Those common experiences somehow created an instant bond with Duvi the second I read her story and it is hard to explain said bond. I was not aware of her life and her passing until the H.P.D posted a memorial to her this Memorial Day 2016, and I wish to thank the P.D. for honoring such a fine warrior!! Rest Well Duvi and prayers for your family. /salute

I first met Sgt Wolf before the deployment to Afghanistan. I would go by the warehouse and say hello, she was always in a jovial mood! When I noticed she was expecting I would go by and see how she was doing. She would not hear any talk of not deploying to Afghanistan. I deployed in support of the Brigade to Camp Fenty and had many pleasant visits with her and Josh when he would come to the base on resupply missions. Prior to the convoy departing on the resupply mission she volunteered for I noticed she was on the mission and I gave her a "Big Hug" and said I would see her upon their return! I was in the Chapel on the Sunday when they brought Josh to the Camp. I was devastated to hear the announcement of her being lost. I was scheduled to leave the camp early but I insisted on staying until after the Memorial Service at Camp Fenty. I returned to Ft Carson early because of a family medical issue and was able to attend the Memorial Services at Ft Carson. I stay in touch with Josh here in Colorado Springs. Eduviges you were the Epitome of a Fine Soldier and you will always be missed. From a friend!! Retired MSG Antonio Villarreal and TACOM Logistics Assistance Representative (LAR)
