| Sara Elizabeth Houk |
Sara Elizabeth Houk, 74, of Tightwad, Missouri went home to be with the Lord early Friday morning, December 2, 2016, following a long struggle with cancer, surrounded by her family. She was born October 21, 1942 in Henry County, Mo., the daughter of David D. Hill and Cora Elizabeth (Lionberger) Hill.
Sara married Willard Glen Houk on July 15, 1960 in Tightwad, Mo. He preceded her in death on November 13, 2002.
She was a lifelong caregiver, working for Golden Valley Memorial Hospital as a Certified Nurses Aid, in the surgical unit, and also as a unit secretary, retiring in 2008 after 20 plus years of service. She loved life and she loved her family. She was involved in most everything they did in one way or another. She was a diehard Royals fan and if they were on that day you knew she'd be in front of the T.V. cheering them on. Her greatest love was taking care of others. If you needed her for anything she was always there. Kind, accepting, warm hearted, keeper of the peace are just a few words to describe Sara or Nanny as she was known to people closest to her. She was a fighter. During her battle with cancer she would have thrown in the towel long ago if it wasn't for the inspiration instilled in her heart by her two great-granddaughters. She will be greatly missed.
She is survived by one son, Mike Houk and wife Darlene, Clinton, Mo.; one daughter, Karen Elmer and husband Brad, Clinton, Mo.; four grandchildren, Sean Houk and wife TeAnna, Clinton, Mo., Megan Bragg and husband Michael, Clinton, Mo., and Corey Houk, Clinton, Mo., Lynora Neuhaus, Nacogdoches, Texas; three step-grandchildren, Jennifer Sutton, Clinton, Mo., Jeremy Sutton, Oakdale, Minnesota, and Gayla Kenney and husband Stephen, Bland, Mo., great-grandchildren, Kenadi and Rowan Houk, Clinton, Mo., Wyatt and Maddy, Nacogdoches, Tx.; step-great-grandchildren, Larry Joe and Stephanie Kenney, Bland, Mo.; one brother, Bob Hill, Clinton, Mo.; five sisters-in-law, Violet Hill, Warsaw, Mo., Pearl Hill, Belton, Mo., Virginia Hill, Liberty, Mo., Faye Houk, Warsaw, Mo., Georgia Hazel, Clinton, Mo.,numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles.
In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by four brothers, Bill Hill, Wade Hill, Joe Hill, and Larry Hill; and one sister, Corene Jones.
Funeral services will be at 1:00 p.m. Tuesday, December 6, 2016 at the Bradley & Hadley Funeral Home, Clinton. Burial will be in Parks Chapel Cemetery, Tightwad, Mo. The family will receive friends from 12:00 Noon to 1:00 p.m. just prior to the funeral service. Friends may call Monday from 1:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the funeral home.

Bucket list: Check this one done...
 |
| 1989: Scott Wilson and his prized 1971 Chevy 4x4 |
Scott Wilson of Harrisonville got to do just that, and is both humbled and thrilled by the experience at the auction on Saturday. He was chosen to be a driver for cars headed to the center stage auction block.
"For any true car buff, this is something you have to do. It's one of those real bucket list items" said Wilson by phone today, who got to drive a total of three cars across the stage.
A real bonus was getting to choose which cars you drive. "You pick the car you want and put your hat in the seat. I went to do just that in a Lamborghini Gallardo, but there was already a hat in the seat".
Wilson wasn't bothered by that. His hat did go into the seat of a 1972 Camaro, a 1975 K5 Chevy Blazer and a 1986 Buick Grand National turbo. His favorite? The Camaro. "It was a nice resto mod car. Corvette engine, modified suspension and chassis, disc brakes and all. Really nicely done". Unfortunately, the car didn't reach the $45,000 reserve price. It got close at $41,000.

| With pass in hand, Scott Wilson is ready to cross the stage at the Mecum Auto Auction at Bartle Hall on Saturday |
He was quick to point out that Saturday was the best day to be a part of the auction, since the most expensive cars are sold the last day; and the holding area will filled with about anything you could imagine from high end vintage trucks to race cars.
A love for cars and trucks goes deep with Wilson. One of his first projects was breathing new life into his 1971 Chevy 4x4 truck that was truly a labor of love that started at age 13- financed by selling aluminum cans and whatever else he could do to make money.
And all that certainly paid off for Scott. His prized possession has been featured on the cover of Four Wheeler magazine and has won numerous trophies over the years.
In his spare time, Scott spends a lot of time in his shop building more projects and painting, which is something he's well known for.
As far as the auction business goes? "I'll do it again if I can. Next time they come to town, I'll be there if at all possible!".
