BOONE, Iowa—Darlene Ann (Fangman) Mosman, age 89 of Boone, passed away on Monday, July 25, 2022 at the Israel Family Hospice House in Ames.

Darlene was united in marriage with Rolland Mosman. From this union were six children, Victoria, James, Lynn, Mark, Kristine Ann and Shari. Darlene was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was a homemaker, always keeping busy and serving others.
