Nancy "Joy" Boettcher, age 91, of Moulton, Iowa, passed away at the Golden Age Center in Centerville, Iowa on Monday, March 1, 2010. She was born October 27, 1918 to Elvin O. and Edith(Withem)Worth in Mondamia, Iowa. Joy was raised in the Loess Hills in Western Iowa on an apple farm. She and her brother and sisters spent their Childhood helping raise and harvest all of the various produce. After graduating from a rural country school she and a friend ran a country store in Orson, Iowa for a time.
Joy met her husband, Edwin E. Boettcher when he and his father were building a road in Magnolia, Iowa. When Edwin's work took him to constructing the Denison Dam in Denison, Texas, Joy took a train to Texas where they were married on November 25, 1941 in Denison. Their first child Linda died of meningitis at age 2 1/2 when Edwin was home for a weekend furlough during World War ll. After they returned to Harrison County in Iowa, where they purchased a farm in the Hills. Later in 1955, they bought their farm on the Dean Bottoms near Moulton, Iowa where they raised their 2 children Alan and Nancy. Joy was always smiling and singing and was a great mother and wife. In 1969, Joy suddenly was faced with dealing with severe bipolarism, so most of her grandchildren never knew the beautiful happy person she had been.
