Nancy A. Brockhoff, 85, of rural Fairview, passed away peacefully Saturday morning, July 8, 2023, at Vintage Park Assisted Living in Hiawatha.
Nancy was born at Pawnee City, Nebraska, the only child of Chester T. and Louise J. Catlett Bloom. She grew up in Pawnee City where she received her education from local schools, graduating from high school with the class of 1955.
She met and later married Norman L. Brockhoff, September 8, 1957, at the Baptist Church in Fairview. They lived all of their married life in the Fairview area. She worked as a bookkeeper for Brockhoff Feed Yards, the Fairview Elevator, and later years for Berwick Oil Distributor of Bern. In recent years, she was working at the Brown County Transfer Station.
Nancy was a people person and enjoyed being with family and friends. She had a great personality and sense of humor that she always had the last word!
Sadly she was preceded in death by her immediate family members within 7 years of her death: her husband Norm in 2019, daughter Teresa Althouse, sons: Charlie Brockhoff, and David Brockhoff. She was also preceded in death by her parents.
Survivors include her grandchildren: Emily (Brian) Hess, Jake (Caitlyn) Althouse, Ben (Megan) Brockhoff, Brad (Meagan) Brockhoff, and Louis (Trina) Althouse with seven great-grandchildren. Also surviving is a sister in law Joyce Brockhoff, and a dear friend Carol Hanrahan.
Nancy’s wishes were to have a private family inurnment at the Old Fairview Cemetery. Reverend Michael Dunaway will officiate.
Friends may call at Chapel Oaks Funeral Home Thursday and Friday to sign the register book.
