Patty A Booher, 72, of Mondamin, Iowa passed away unexpectedly on Friday, April 20, 2018 at Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs, Iowa. She was surrounded and comforted by her loving family.

Our “Nana”, as she loved to be called, was an amazing wife, mom, daughter, sister, friend and the best darn noodle maker in town. She could whip up the lightest batch of mouth-watering noodles that everyone would fight over for seconds. She enjoyed spending time with her family. At family dinners she would always have a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face.

In her spare time, she loved to do crafts and paint. Nana could take something simple, piece it together, and make a beautiful masterpiece. She enjoyed watching westerns and listening to her favorite country music artist Brooks and Dunn. She even taught her grandchildren how to two step as she sang along to “Neon Moon.”

Patty’s story began on October 3, 1945 in Dow City, Ia. She was the youngest child born to Kenneth and Opal Crawford. Her father was the town mayor and mother was a homemaker. She grew up in a very loving home.

On May 11, 1963, she married Darrell Hardy in Dunlap, Iowa. To this union, they were blessed with four beautiful children, Brian, Michael, Richard, and Susan. The family loved to travel and visited many cities across the US. She was both the enforcer and the loving hand in the family and she had a way of letting the kids know she meant business simply by stating “Susan Ann” or “Richard Dean.”

On October 9, 1993, she married Herbert Booher at the Little Brown Church in Nashua, Iowa. They loved to spend time with their grandchildren and shared a love for western movies and country music. Together their creativity thrived with building their own dream home.

Patty’s children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren were her heart and joy. There’s no denying that her grandbabies, as she also called them, were the people she loved the most. Time spent at Nana’s house was filled with adventures, love, and so many everlasting memories from running around on the farm, an endless supply of popsicles, tractor rides with Papa, and spending Christmas Eve snowed in with a video game console and laughter.

Loved ones that cleared the path for Patty and whom she is once again re-united with are her father and mother, Kenneth and Opal Crawford, her husbands, Darrell Hardy and Herbert Booher, her son Michael Hardy, and her brothers Carroll and Donald Crawford.

Loved ones that will miss Patty until they meet again are her sons, Brian Hardy and Richard Hardy(Melissa); daughter Susan Fields(Shawn); step-son, Jesse Booher; step-daughter Nina Ellison; grandchildren, Megan and Adam Bosch, Macy Freihage, Nicholas Hardy, Barret Fields, Makayla Hardy, and Allie Fields; great grandchildren, Nolan Freihage and Logan Bosch; brother, Gene Crawford and sisters, Lillian Koger and Janet Glessinger; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Her story will live on through her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren until we see our Nana again. We love and miss you Mom.

Visitation will be Friday from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. at Hennessey Funeral Home.
