Mom will be remembered for her love of her family, her gentle nature, and her enjoyment of their many friends.  She truly loved everything about her life and felt so blessed.

The family is especially thankful to Catherine Magness and husband Robert for the loving care they provided Mom over the past several years.

Services will be at 11 AM Thursday, October 17th, at Village Church, 6641 Mission Road, Prairie Village, KS.

In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations be made in Lola’s name to Compassionate Care Hospice, City Union Mission of KCMO, or to a charity of your choice.
