Steven Scott Wolfe, 59, of Largo, FL, went to be with the Lord on Dec. 25, 2025. Born on Nov. 2, 1966, in Lebanon, PA, Steven was a man of vibrant spirit, renowned for his generosity and his unwavering dedication to supporting those around him.
A lifelong learner and educator, Steven grew up in the Grantville, PA area and graduated from Northern Lebanon High School before earning his Bachelor of Science in Spanish Education from Millersville University of Pennsylvania. His deep love for language led him to Spain, where he earned the prestigious Diploma of Spanish as a Foreign Language (D.E.L.E.) from the University of Salamanca.
His leadership was truly global, most notably during his tenure as general manager for ARCUS in San Jose, Costa Rica, where he built and trained specialized bilingual teams. An entrepreneur at heart, he founded Spanish Translation Solutions and Vanish-In-Spanish, ventures that bridged cultural gaps through remote instruction and innovative curriculum development.
Beyond his professional success, Steven found joy in the simple pleasures of life: gardening, cooking, and the companionship of his beloved pets. A true polyglot, he was fluent in English, Spanish, Latin, and French, and remained dedicated to his linguistic projects until his final days.
Steven is survived by his husband, Jay Berwanger, of Largo, FL; brothers, Warren F. (Thelma), Brian A. (Joanne), Bruce A. (Pam), and Fred J. (Rose) Wolfe; and many cherished nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his mother, Irene V. Wolfe; brother, Larry E. Wolfe; grandmother, Margaret I. Anspach; and great-nephew, Jacob A. Mumma.
Steven lived by a simple but profound philosophy: “Life consists of two dates and a dash. Make the most of the dash; live a lush life in some small dive.” His life was a testament to that “dash”—filled with love, constant learning, and a profound commitment to enriching the lives of others.
Having been born the last of six sons with his older brothers already starting families, he developed relationships with many of his nieces, nephews, and cousins who were his contemporaries, with whom he maintained close relationships until his final days. He will be deeply missed.
A graveside service will be held on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. where his remains will be buried with his mother Irene in the Pleasant Hill Chapel Cemetery, 30 Chapel Drive, Greenpoint PA. A gathering will be held afterwards at Heisey’s Diner, Lebanon, PA for fellowship, food and sharing memories. Attendees will be responsible for items ordered off the menu.
