SARILOU “Salli” (SMART) PACE
January 26, 1919 – August 6, 2014
Salli Pace, beloved wife and mother, passed on August 6, 2014, at Brighton Gardens of Prairie Village, Kansas. Salli was born to Thomas L. and Goldena (Maupin) Smart in Pattonsburg, MO and later lived in Chillicothe, MO, Ottawa and Lawrence, KS. Salli played oboe in the Lawrence Memorial High School orchestra, won the National Music Competition in New York City in 1936, was offered a scholarship to attend the Julliard School of Music and attended Interlochen Arts Camp.
She entered Kansas University and joined Kappa Alpha Theta. She met and later married Clyde W. Pace, Jr. Because of Clyde’s work with the Federal Aviation Administration and as an international aviation consultant, they lived in Brussels, Belgium; Montreal, Canada; Lisbon, Portugal and travelled extensively throughout Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Nepal and many more places around the world. They lived in Fort Worth, Jefferson City, Philadelphia and in the Kansas City area two different times, moving to Arlington, VA in 1963 where they lived for 37 years.
They sailed on the Potomac River, Chesapeake Bay and Intercoastal Waterways. Also, they lived in St. Michaels, MD on the Miles River and could view the river, listen to the Canada geese, watch sailboat races and count the multitude of watercraft on the weekends.
They had a loving marriage that lasted for 67 years until Clyde passed away in 2008. She and Clyde were long-time Christian Scientists; both belonged to 7th Church of Christ, Scientist on the Country Club Plaza and later helped to found a Christian Science branch in McLean, VA where they both served as First Reader. Salli’s family includes Randy Pace and wife Marquita of Kansas City, Lynne Pace Robinson and husband Larry of St. Michaels, MD and Anne Pace of Vermont. She also leaves a sister, Marilyn Stockton of Bloomington, Indiana and a brother, Paul Smart of southern California. She leaves two granddaughters and one great granddaughter.
Private family service. The family remains grateful to the Brighton Gardens staff and to Hospice for their love and care. The family suggests any contributions be made in Salli’s name to Interlochen Arts Camp in Michigan or the Children’s Music program at Bethel UCC, 4900 NE Parvin Rd, Kansas City, MO 64117.
