Thomas Vincent Edlin, 92, a lifelong resident of Platte County, Missouri passed away peacefully at his home in Platte City on January 29, 2024, surrounded by family.

In January 1952, Tom enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. On April 26, 1952, Tom was united in marriage to the love of his life, Jo Ann Haggard. Their first three years of marriage was spent in California where Tom was stationed at Camp Pendleton where he was in charge of the ammunition depot. After being honorably discharged, Tom returned to Platte County where he engaged in trucking and farming until his retirement. His early interests and hobbies included playing baseball, billiards at his uncle’s establishment, the Platte City Pool Hall, and mushroom hunting for which he had a keen eye. Tom traveled to Wyoming and Colorado many times hunting elk, moose, and deer. He also enjoyed and excelled at trapshooting. In May 1979, Tom won the Missouri Singles Championship and later that year along with his son, Gary, won the Parent &amp; Child Championship at the Grand American in Vandalia, Ohio. Tom was inducted into the Missouri Trapshooters Hall of Fame in 2022. He was a life member of the Kansas City Trapshooter’s Association. Other interests included trading cars, a good meal, playing cards, and most of all spending time with his family. In his later years, Tom spent many hours at Gary’s shop spinning and sharing stories, helping his brother, Terry, fry fish and being entertained by Buster, the resident cat. Tom was quiet and reserved but had no problem offering his opinion.

Tom was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Jo Ann, his parents, and his brother, Terry W. Edlin.&nbsp;

Beulah B. Kane, a lifelong resident of Atchison, KS, and the best wife, mother and grandmother that her family could have ever wished for, died Saturday, January 27, 2024, at her home at the age of 85.&nbsp;

Roxanna U. Phillips, 88, passed away peacefully in St. Joseph, Missouri on January 26, 2024. Born on May 3, 1935, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to the late William J. and Anna E. (Williamson) Urquhart, she cultivated a life enriched with education, family, and service which emanated a legacy of love and spirited grace.

A proud graduate of Cornell University, Roxanna not only achieved academic success but also a beautiful, lifelong partnership, meeting her soulmate Richard E. Phillips on campus grounds. Their celebrated union began on August 30, 1958, and flourished through decades of shared passions and commitments. With a heart for guiding others, she embraced the rewarding role of a home economics teacher in New York before continuing to inspire young minds in Missouri. Roxanna later continued her career at JoAnn's fabric store, imparting her expertise and joy for creation until her well-earned retirement.

Roxanna's sustained fervor for life was evident in her abundant interests and community involvement. She was a devoted member of the Savannah United Methodist Church, where she blended faith with fellowship. Her inherent talents in fiber arts and her gift for gab found a harmonious blend in groups such as Welcome Wagon and Stitch 'n Chat. Outside of community circles, she kept active with water aerobics and reveled in cultural enrichment alongside Richard, attending symphonies, musicals, and unforgettable quilting trips with her daughter.

Family was the corner piece of Roxanna's world. Her radiant life continues to be celebrated by her husband, Richard; her children, Roberta Lawson and Russell Phillips (Janelle); and adored grandson, Ethan Phillips. Roxanna now joins her parents and brother, Ross Urquhart, in eternal rest, leaving an indelible imprint of a life exuberantly lived and freely given.
