Patricia A. Korff

May 2, 1934 - January 31, 2021

GREENFIELD - Patricia A. “Pat” Korff, age 86, passed away Sunday, January 31, 2021 at Springhurst Health Campus in Greenfield. She was born to Silas and Mabel (Goe) Nodine in Waterloo, IN on May 2, 1934. She grew up in Waterloo in the midst of a large extended family, which was a joy for her. She loved school and was an outstanding student. She won a blue ribbon for her handwriting, which her children and grandchildren will agree was well deserved as displayed in her letters and cards to them over the years. Pat was a cheerleader, a twirler with the marching band, and won a Miss Popularity contest at her school. She was involved with the Home Demonstration Club in Butler, IN serving as a past president, and was a member of Trinity Park United Methodist Church in Greenfield. Pat married her highschool sweetheart, Don Korff, in 1951. This month would have marked their 70’th wedding anniversary. She and Don loved to travel in their motorhome, eventually giving that up to spend time in their vacation homes in Florida and Michigan. Pat had a beautiful soprano voice, and she sang in church choirs as well as daily along with the radio as she worked around the house. She was energetic and talented, as capable in the garage and barn as she was in the kitchen. She loved sports and IU basketball, and could always be counted on to be there at athletic events for her kids and grandchildren. She was known as the grandmother who would cheer for everyone - encouraging teammates she didn’t know just as much as her own family. Pat is survived by her husband, Don Korff of Greenfield; sons, Jerry (Claudean) Korff of Greenfield, Roger Korff of Greenfield; daughter, Dianne (Rick) Beardsley of Carmel; sisters, Merriel Myers of Waterloo; Sally Bonecutter of Celina, TN; 5 grandchildren, Zachary and Matthew Korff; Margot Clark; Natalie Kostroski; Carl Beardsley; and 11 great-grandchildren. Pat is preceded in death by her daughter Cheryl Korff, her parents, and her brother, Dr. Duane Nodine. A private memorial service will be held for immediate family at 11:00am on Monday, February 8th, 2021 at Erlewein Mortuary & Crematory 1484 US Hwy 40, Greenfield. Pat’s grandson, Zachary Korff, will officiate. Inurnment will be at a later date at Woodlawn Cemetery in Auburn, IN.
