Joyce Elaine (Viles) Lee, 86, Bethany, Missouri, passed away Tuesday, May 21, 2024, at Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph, Missouri.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She was born August 21, 1937, in Albany, Missouri, the daughter of Ervin Edward and Doris Pauline (Gibbany) Viles.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; On December 18, 1955, she married Wayne Franklin Lee who preceded her in death.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mrs. Lee’s departure marks the end of an era filled with unwavering dedication and profound compassion. Her profound impact on countless students during her tenure at Bethany Elementary and South Harrison High School resonates deeply within the community.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Her teaching legacy extends beyond the classroom, as she brightened the lives of those around her with her infectious smile and warm spirit. As a devoted mother, she poured endless love and wisdom into her family, leaving an indelible mark on their hearts.&nbsp;

In addition to her passion for education, Joyce found joy in the kitchen, where her baking and cooking talents brought joy to gatherings and comfort to many. Her culinary creations, much like her teaching, were infused with love and care.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Though she may have departed from this world, Joyce's impact remains etched in the memories of all who were fortunate enough to have known her. Her legacy of kindness, faith, and generosity will continue to inspire and uplift future generations.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Survivors include her son, David (Tammy) Lee, Bethany, Missouri; her daughter Stacy (Don) Carrick, Country Club, Missouri; sister-in-law Doloris (Ted) Marr, Apollo Beach, Florida; brother-in-law Eugene (Rose) Lee, St. Joseph, Missouri; and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Wayne Franklin Lee, her parents Ervin Edward and Doris Pauline (Gibbany) Viles, stepmother Hazel (Barnes) Viles and three siblings including James Edward, Robert Eugene and Mary Louise.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Services will be at 10:00 a.m. Friday, May 24, at the First Baptist Church, 302 North 22nd Street, Bethany, Missouri under the direction of Roberson Funeral Home.

He shared a wonderful life with his wife, Gail A. (Peterson) Bloom, whom he married on August 27, 1977.

Daniel is also remembered by his sister, Linda Bloom.&nbsp;

Louise Dean (Finkelstein) Leibowitz was born April 17, 1933 to Samuel and Rose (Dean) Finkelstein in Hutchinson, Kansas. She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister, Geraldine Finkelstein Harelik, and her son, Scott C. Leibowitz.

Louise was a graduate of Hutchinson High School and attended the University of Texas at Austin, where she was a member of Delta Phi Epsilon sorority.

On January 13, 1957, she married Paul A. Leibowitz and moved to St. Joseph, Missouri. She resided there until 1987, when she moved to Scottsdale, Arizona following the death of her husband Paul.

She was involved in many civic, social, and cultural activities in both St. Joseph and Scottsdale. In St. Joseph, she was active with Temple Adath Joseph, where she was president of the Temple Sisterhood for several years, the Albrecht-Kemper Art Museum, the Heartland Hospital Auxiliary and the St. Joseph Country Club. Louise was also involved in local tennis programs and acted as a housing coordinator for the annual Pro Penn professional tennis tournament for multiple years. After moving to Scottsdale, she was an active member of the Kivel Campus of Care Auxiliary Board, the Brandeis University National Women’s Committee and a member of the board of the McCormick Ranch Women’s Association.

Louise was outgoing and gregarious. She would talk with any stranger, especially if they had a dog, often delaying the family when they were out and about. She was a proud shopper of departments stores, such as Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom, Costco, and Walgreens. Cooking was her passion, with multiple course meals any day of the week, fancy holiday dinners, or even a simple BBQ. She was known for her homemade peppermint ice cream, prime rib, fried chicken, red caviar dip, sun tea, anything on the grill, and her desserts. Louise made beautiful needle point items, enjoyed crossword puzzles, and watching light comedy movies. She adored her grandchildren immensely.

Louise is survived by two daughters, Leslie (Louis) Bowers of North Miami, Florida, Eve (Stephen) Bressler of Phoenix, Arizona, Diane Leibowitz (daughter-in law) of San Diego, California, four grandchildren, Paige and Reann Bressler of Phoenix, Arizona, Jessica and Jason Leibowitz of San Diego, California, her beloved toy schnauzers “girls”, Paisley and Molly, several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Jerry Lindstrom 1966 - 2024

Diane Elizabeth (Ray) Ketter, formerly of Ashland, MO, passed away suddenly May 16, 2024.

Diane was born May 27, 1950, to Dennis and Mary Alice (Highhouse) Ray in Erie, PA. As the oldest of four siblings, she learned at an early age how to delegate tasks. She was a “doer” by nature and an entrepreneur at an early age, raising chickens and selling the eggs. She remained a “doer” her entire life, and was always the first to volunteer for any needs she saw.

She graduated from Highland High School in Medina, Ohio, and then from the Akron School of Nursing. After graduation in 1971, Diane joined the Navy and was stationed in Portsmith, VA. While there, she met the love of her life, Jim, who was also in the Navy. They married on Feb. 10, 1973, during a historic blizzard in Virginia Beach. After discharge from the Navy, they settled in mid Missouri, where Jim was born and raised.

Diane continued her nursing studies and received both her MA and FNP degrees from the University of Missouri. She taught clinical nursing to Mizzou students and also worked in the student health clinics at both Mizzou and Columbia College.&nbsp;

Diane and Jim lived in Ashland, Missouri, for 29 years in a passive solar house they designed and built together on 76 wooded acres. They raised their three children there, along with a menagerie of pets. The Ketter household was especially active when the kids were teenagers. Diane always welcomed an extra two or three, or ten, at the dinner table.

A picture of courage and tenacity, Diane was a Captain in the Navy Reserves. As a Navy nurse, her reserve unit was called to active duty to staff a mobile hospital in Bahrain during Desert Storm. Her incredible perseverance helped her become a breast cancer survivor in 2008.&nbsp;

Diane loved gardening, thrifting, sewing, puzzles, spending time with her family, and traveling. She and Jim took several river cruises in Europe, visited their son Daniel in Taiwan, saw the Great Wall of China, and in 2023 they celebrated their 50th anniversary in Hawaii. Diane’s grandchildren were the light of her life, and she enjoyed numerous trips with them to Branson.&nbsp;

Diane was a faithful servant to the Lord, working with the youth at Ashland Baptist for many years, serving as sound technician at Linden Baptist Church in Gladstone, and volunteering on the board of the Kansas City Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary. She said, “Being able to pray with hurting people and offer hope and encouragement is both humbling and gratifying.” She was a consummate caregiver, welcoming foster children and foreign exchange students into her home, and caring for her parents during their later years.

Diane is survived by her beloved husband, Jim; children Jason (Traci), Daniel, and Lauren (Josh); siblings David Rea (Hassell), “adopted” sibling Judy McElroy (Russ), Dale Sawan (Curt), and Deborah Engel (Stan); grandchildren Simon, Hannah, Miles, Amelia, and Ella; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

The family will host a Celebration of Diane’s Life on May 25 at 2 p.m. at Linden Baptist Church, located at 611 NE 69th St, Gladstone, MO 64118. Fellowship to follow at 3 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary, World Vision, or the charity of your choice.

Diane Elizabeth (Ray) Ketter 1950 - 2024

Sister Agnes Helgenberger, OSB, 90, a Benedictine sister of Mount St. Scholastica, Atchison, Kan., died Monday, May 20, 2024, at the monastery. The vigil service will be Friday, May 24, at 7 p.m. in the monastery chapel; and the Mass of Resurrection will be celebrated there Saturday, May 25 at 10:30 a.m. Burial will be at Resurrection Cemetery, 5001 NE Cookingham Dr., Kansas City, Mo.

Sister Agnes was born in Kolonia, Pohnpei, Micronesia, on April 5,1934, the first of five children. In the matriarchal culture there, Sister Agnes was born to be “limese kedil” (matriarch of the clan). Instead, she followed God’s call to become a Mercedarian Missionary of Berriz in 1953 and taught for 30 years in Micronesia and Guam. She came to the United States in 1968 to earn her B.S. at St. Mary’s College in Leavenworth.

During a sabbatical in 1989, while living in the Mercedarian community in Liberty, Mo., she began to pray the Divine Office with the nearby Benedictine Sisters. She subsequently entered Queen of the Angels Monastery and made her lifetime vows in 1996. During her years in Liberty, she served in their thrift store and food pantry, was a substitute teacher at Liberty High School, taught bible school, and ministered in prison. She loved teaching, especially the students with more challenging needs. Sister Agnes was elected prioress in 2007. When the Liberty monastery closed in 2018, she asked to become a member of Mount St. Scholastica, transferring her profession in March of 2020. Faithful to prayer and generous in service, she brought joy to both sisters and staff in Dooley Center. She also remained a highly respected, beloved and central member of the Micronesian community in the Kansas City area.

Sister Agnes was preceded in death by her parents, Edmund and Martha (Wilson) Helgenberger, her brothers, Aluis, Domingo, and Cyril Helgenberger, and her sister, Cypriana Mendiola. She is survived by nieces and nephews and her monastic family. Arensberg-Pruett Funeral Home (www.arensberpruett.com) is in charge of arrangements. Memorials may be sent to Mount St. Scholastica or made online at the Mount’s web site (www.mountosb.org).

James (Jim) Lewis Shipman 1947 - 2024

Lindsay Dwayne (Pete) Keller, 59, of Platte City, Missouri passed away on May 10, 2024, at St Luke’s Northland.

Pete was born on March 28, 1965, to Betty Louise (Ball) Keller and Linell D. Keller in Leavenworth, Kansas. Pete grew up in the Camden Point area and attended North Platte High School in Dearborn, Missouri where he graduated in 1983. Pete played baseball for the North Platte Panthers and always remained an avid baseball fan. After high school, Pete went on to graduate from DeVry Institute of Technology specializing in electronics.

Pete was united in marriage on January 10, 1987, to his high school sweetheart Deanna (Carter) Keller. In 1993 they welcomed their daughter Lindsay Deanna. Pete was able to continue his passion of baseball by coaching Lindsay as a softball pitcher throughout her childhood and high school years in club ball. Spending this time with her was his greatest joy.&nbsp;

He also found great joy with his many four legged friends especially his cocker spaniel, Elvis. With his passion for cars, most recently you could find him cruising around town with the wind in his hair or at a local car show with his ‘65 Shelby Cobra. Following his dad’s love for the “Redbirds”, Pete was a loyal St. Louis Cardinals fan, but on a “special occasion”, he could be found in a KC Royals jersey.&nbsp;

Pete was preceded in death by his parents Betty and Linell Keller and his brother Rick Pine.

Pete is survived by his wife Deanna and daughter Lindsay both of Platte City; sister Lindell Lindsay, brother Ben (Lisa) Keller as well as many nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.&nbsp;

A celebration of life will be held Friday, May 17th from 6:00 – 8:00 PM at New Market Christian Church, 18 Mill Street, Dearborn, MO 64439.&nbsp;
