Patty Lynn Boley

Patty Lynn Boley, 55, of Van Wert, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Monday, April 20, 2020.

Patty was born in Lima April 4, 1965, the daughter of Willard Lowell and Florence (Robey) Nolan of Van Wert County.

She was an exceptional mother, who lived her life selflessly for her children, her husband, and her family, as a living example of what it meant to be kind, thoughtful, and compassionate to all. 

Patty was a teller at First Federal of Van Wert, where she was always a friendly face ready to greet customers as they walked through the door. She was a member of Trinity Friends Church and was committed to serving both her community and her church faithfully. She will be missed by many.

Patty is survived by her husband, Rick Boley of Van Wert; her mother, Florence (Robey) Nolan of Van Wert; her son Adam (Paul McGraw) Lassiter of Columbus; and daughter Elizabeth Lassiter of Van Wert. She is also survived by three stepchildren, Curtis Boley of Columbus, Erica (Robert) Mefferd of Convoy, and Nicholas (Shannon) Boley of Van Wert; as well as her stepgrandchildren, Lucas, Grant, Courtney, McKenna, Alivia, Easton, and Elijah. Mourning her loss are siblings Nancy (Jim) Wilcox, Jeff (Julie) Nolan, and Lisa Nolan. 

She was preceded in death by her father Willard Lowell Nolan in 2012 and her infant sister Melody Ann Nolan.

Because of national health concerns, Alspach-Gearhart Funeral Home & Crematory and Patty’s family are following directives limiting attendance to the visitation and funeral service to immediate family members only. Burial will take place in Tomlinson Cemetery in rural Mercer County. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
