Paul David Wolfert, age 72, of Springfield, passed away Sunday, August 28, 2022 at TriStar Centennial Medical Center in Nashville.
Paul was born February 20, 1950 in Pittsburg, PA to the late Ralph and Katie Cantrell Wolfert, but moved to Indiana during his early childhood. He made his way to Nashville where he enrolled in David Lipscomb College. Mr. Wolfert was employed as a Security Guard at David Lipscomb for 10 years and then took a job as a Security Officer with Vanderbilt University Police. He loved meeting people and helping them find their way around the Medical Center campus. Medical reasons caused him to take an early retirement after 10 years of service at Vanderbilt.
Paul met the love of his life, Linda, while at David Lipscomb College. They have lived in both Nashville and Springfield during their 40 year marriage. He enjoyed reading books of all kinds and was an avid sports fan, especially Vanderbilt baseball. He can be remembered as always having a smile, even on the difficult days he experienced throughout many illnesses. Paul was a member of the Coopertown Church of Christ.
Mr. Wolfert is survived by his loving wife, Linda Wolfert; brothers, Bob (Sue) Wolfert and Bill Wolfert; niece, Jamie Bomnskie; and nephews, Travis Pigg, Matthew Wolfert, Joseph Hunter, Justin Hunter, Jared Head, Joshua Head, Kyle Henley and Casey Gillespie.
