Michael Anthony Bollin

Michael Anthony Bollin, 73, of Keokuk, passed away on Friday, September 16, 2022, at his

home in Keokuk surrounded by his family.

Michael was born on April 26, 1949, in Keokuk, Iowa, the son of Max and Bette (Weirather)

Bollin. On December 21, 1974, he was united in marriage to Kathy Lynn Yancey in Hemet,

California. She survives. Michael was of the Catholic faith and was employed as a farmer and a

Journeyman Wireman for fifty years with IBEW Local #13. He led a full life that was centered

around his children and grandchildren. Michael raised horses, mules, cattle, and Walker

coonhounds, and he loved to fish and garden, passing this knowledge along to his children and

grandchildren. He canned huge quantities of elderberry jelly to share with his family. He was

also an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan. Michael loved to coon hunt, and never missed opening day.

Michael is survived by his wife Kathy Lynn Bollin of Keokuk; four children: Anne (Derek)

Beth Frakes, Mary Jo Seaver and Rose Loth; his brother Matt Bollin; and many nieces, nephews

and cousins.

Michael is preceded in death by his parents, his brother Nate Bollin and his sister Katie Bollin.

Catholic Cemetery in Nauvoo, Illinois. A celebration of life will be held on Thursday, September
