Patricia A. Hufford

Patricia Ann Hufford was born on August 9, 1950 in Laramie, WY. She was the first daughter born to Herbert McIntosh and Annabelle Pugh.  Patti passed away at her home in Powell on October 5, 2011.

​She grew up south of Burlington on her grandparent’s farm. She was raised by her grandparents Fon and Berenice McIntosh. Growing up with her grandparents brought many years of fond memories. She later went on to graduate from Burlington High School in 1968. She continued her education graduating in the first Northwest College LPN class in 1981, and returning to college again in 1991 to graduate with the first RN class. Beyond her career in nursing, Patti’s passions were quilting, gardening, camping, four wheeling, canning and generally taking care of ANYONE!  She always put everyone before herself no matter the circumstances in any situation. Above everything she loved and cared for all the kids, and extended family as though they were her own. There are many other things that could be said of Patti, but there are not words amazing enough to define the person she was.

​Patti’s first marriage produced four loving children.  She married Donald Hufford on August 23, 1993, and added two more children to her family.  She was also blessed with eight grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and other extended family.

She will be missed by her husband, Donald, her children Marcy (Del) Friedly of Powell, Ty Aagard of Powell, Trent (fiancée Robyn) Aagard of Burlington, Rusty (Rosemary) Hufford of Winnemucca, NV, and Chanda Gruman of Muscatine, IA. She will also be missed by her eight grandchildren, her four great-grandchildren, and her numerous nieces and nephews and extended family. She was preceded in death by her grandparents Fon and Berenice, parents Herbert and Annabelle, her sister Marlea Cauffman, and her son Travis Aagard.
