Riley Wolf

The lovely and talented Riley Katherine Wolf died on Sunday, December 1 from a very rare form of cancer. She was fifteen years old.

Riley will be remembered for her fierce determination, wicked sense of humor, love of ballet and grace in impossible circumstances.

Riley started dancing at Southern New Hampshire Dance Theater (SNHDT) when she was eight years old. She performed in the Nutcracker at The Palace Theatre for six years, including her dream role of Clara in 2011. She loved SNHDT so much, when they relocated their studios a few years ago, she asked them to include a sleeping area so she wouldn't have to leave on the weekends.

Family members include her parents, Dave and Terry Wolf, her sister, Reagan, and little brother Ronan of Bedford; grandparents Tom and Kay Wolf of Long Island; and Glenn and Cindy Moore of North Rose.

Services for Riley Wolf will be held on Thursday, December 5.

Visiting hours: 3-5pm
