Abbe Salomon was born in Chicago to Irving and Cecile Salomon in 1938. After World War II, she moved with her family to Rancho
Lilac (Lilac Ranch) in Valley Center, California where she attended schools in Escondido. She completed her secondary education
at Miss Hewitt’s Classes in New York City and then attended Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland. She met her future husband,
Louis Wolfsheimer on the East Coast and they moved to San Diego, where he became an attorney. The couple had two children
and later divorced. Wolfsheimer Stutz attended California Western School of Law, became a law professor and was very active
in community affairs. She served on many civic boards and was active in performing arts production and the Jewish community.
