Mom loved KU and would tell anyone who would listen. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of St. Joseph.
She lived the last year and a half at Living Community Center in St. Joseph MO. She had many friends that she played “Left Right Center” dice game after dinner many nights. Mom was “Thelma” to Mary Jane’s “Louise” partners in crime at the center. They all had a great time together.
I just want to thank all the staff for taking excellent care of our mother. She really loved them all. I appreciate what they did for her. Some became very special to her. Couldn’t have asked for any better care. Hospice Care was like family. I want to thank Heidi Sidwell, her nurse. Mom used to call her Dr. Heidi.
Graveside service with family at Resurrection Cemetery in Lenexa Kansas at a later date. Cremation under the direction of Simplify Cremations & Funerals. In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorial contributions to Friends of the Animal Shelter of St. Joseph. Online guest book and obituary at www.simplifyfunerals.com.
