Obituary - Barbara Kathryn Angle

Barbara Kathryn Angle
Barbara Kathryn Angle, 93, of Clinton, passed away April 3, 2017, in Phoenix, Arizona.

Graveside services will be Monday, April 10, 2017 at 2:00 pm in Englewood Cemetery, Clinton, Missouri.
The family suggests memorial contributions to Hospice of the Valley and may be left in care of the funeral home.
Fond memories and condolences can be left online at www.vansant-millsfuneralhome.com

Barbara was born on February 23, 1924, in rural Henry County, Missouri, to Rena A. and Joseph E. DeLozier. She was the youngest of five children.
Barbara was a lifelong resident of Clinton and graduated from Clinton High School, where she excelled in Latin and basketball. She married another Clinton resident, William M. (Jack) Angle, on March 28, 1944, in Olathe, Kansas, just before he left for U.S. Army Air Corps flight training. During WWII, she took a nightly bus with other young women from Clinton to Kansas City to work the midnight shift at the Pratt & Whitney plant, which made engines for the airplanes her new husband flew as a flight navigator over western Europe.

Following the war, she became a devoted wife, mother and homemaker. She was vibrant, loving and kind with a ready sense of humor. She loved to cook, garden, watch her beloved Missouri birds (especially cardinals and bluebirds), read and watch old Hollywood movies. She enjoyed spending time with her four brothers and their families, her husband’s family, and the close and lifelong group of friends in Clinton she met for lunches and weekly bridge games. In later life she adored traveling throughout the U.S. and particularly Hawaii.

Barbara was preceded in death by husband, her parents, Joseph and Rena DeLozier, her four brothers: Tracy, Forest, Dale and Carol “Spec” DeLozier, as well as her eldest daughter, Sandra Dinges. She is survived by her son, Stephen W. Angle and wife, Denna, of Warrensburg, her daughter Deborah D. Taylor and husband Gary, of Phoenix, Arizona, as well as grandchildren Stephanie and Lee Willerton, Rhonda Rogge, Bill Angle, Bill Hoffman and Marty Taylor and great-grand-children Renae, Kristen, and James Rogge, Henley Angle and Keagan and McKenna Taylor.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Vansant-Mills Funeral Home, Clinton, Missouri.











Detention Officer assaulted in Henry County

James Agnew
On Sunday, March 26, 2017 a Detention Officer was assaulted at the Henry County Detention Center while attempting to lock down an inmate. While giving voice commands to the inmate to gain compliance, the inmate jumped up from his seat and began to assault the Detention Officer.

Another Detention Officer entered the cell block and was able to assist in getting the inmate under control. An incident report has been created and will be forwarded to the Henry County Prosecuting Attorney for consideration of charges. 

Assaulting a Detention Officer carries the same penalties as assaulting a law enforcement officer under Missouri law. 

The inmate, James Agnew, age 32 of Clinton has been incarcerated since December 2016 on a charge of assault on a law enforcement officer. That case is still pending before the courts.

The Detention Officer was taken to the emergency room for evaluation as is standard procedure under these circumstances.

"Detention Officers face many dangers each and every day that they work from inmates that become violent while incarcerated. We are thankful that this situation was resolved quickly and no staff were injured", Sheriff Oberkrom said.
