Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for KC Roads Lawyers in Belton Today

Near Normal Late February Temps

When generating these posts we like to look at some of the older posts to see if there are any questions our friends are asking to which we can provide answers. After going back and reading the comments on the past few posts it may not be that we need answers but instead some therapy!

Based on responses there may be a inordinate number of Kansas Citians huddled in corners wishing this Winter away. Well, we aren't licensed therapist but we can provide some therapy the way we know how...with Weather! The last time we reached 40 degrees in KC was one week ago (in fact we hadn't reached 30 until yesterday) which is well below normal considering the normal high is currently 45 degrees. This cold air ( and non-stop snow and ice) has kept the grounds snowy and icy.

However, it looks like the next few days will bring near normal temperatures and some melting. However, there are some pitfalls in this forecast...1) watch for black ice this morning because what melted yesterday refroze overnight...2) patchy freezing drizzle may be a concern Friday morning...3) A few thunderstorms may be possible Saturday...4)Another strong cold front moves through Saturday night producing another round of accumulating snow for some areas (I'm looking at you northeastern Kansas and northwestern Missouri). So, although it's not all great just remember, baby steps, baby steps!

Obituary - Cecilia Imming

Cecilia Imming, 71, of Belton, MO passed away on February 19, 2019.

Cecilia was born to Claude and Christine Johnson and grew up in Independence, MO. She married Steve Imming in 1975, and together, they raised two daughters during their 44 years together.

Cecilia worked at St. Sabina Catholic Church in Belton, MO for 25 years. She began her job there as the parish secretary and retired as the parish's business manager in December of 2013. During her time at St. Sabina, Cecilia ministered to many parishioners and families and participated in countless events and activities. Her kindness was one of her strongest characteristics, which she displayed on a daily basis as she took care of not only the needs of the parish, but of the parish family itself. Her care and compassion became the model which her fellow employees desired to emulate.

While her work at the parish was important to her, it did not compare to the love and dedication Cecilia had for all members of her family, especially her loving husband, Steve, and their two daughters, Lisa and Carrie. She adored her family and shared a special bond with each of her grandchildren.

Cecilia will forever be remembered for her sense of humor, her concern for others, and her love of God, family, and life.

She is preceded in death by her parents, and two sisters, Christine Channer and Carolyn Kessler.

She is survived by her husband Steve Imming, sister Catherine Clarke, two daughters, Lisa and husband Raymond Schmitt, and Carrie and husband William, along with four grandchildren, Jacob, Matthew, Rachael, and Hollis.

The celebration of life will be held on February 25th at St. Sabina Catholic Church located at 700 Trevis Ave, Belton, MO. The Rosary will be prayed at 9:30 a.m., immediately followed by the visitation. A Mass of Christian Burial will begin at 11:00 a.m. Graveside services will be held at Mt. Olivet.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Cecilia to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, Little Sisters of the Poor, or St. Sabina Catholic Church.

Obituary - Deborah Cathleen Baker

Deborah Cathleen Baker, age 50 of Nevada, MO departed this life and went to be with her Lord and Savior on February 19, 2019 at her home surrounded by her loving family.

Cathy was born March 15, 1968 in Albany, MO the daughter of Jerry and Sue Beisner. Cathy married Rick Baker on June 24, 1989. They would have celebrated their 30th Anniversary on June 24, 2019. To this union three children were born.

Cathy gave her heart to the Lord and was a shining example of Christ’s Love. Cathy attended the Church of God Holiness as long as her health permitted. Her greatest joy was being a wife, mother, and grandmother to her granddaughter Ilya Cate.

Cathy graduated from Nevada High School and received her degree in pharmacy from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. Cathy loved being a geriatric pharmacist. She devoted her life to her career and her family.

Cathy loved going on cruises with her family and friends. She also enjoyed ski trips with her family in Colorado. As a child growing up she enjoyed spending weekends at the family lake cabin and as an adult she enjoyed spending weekends with her family and her father, Jerry Beisner on his boat at Stockton Lake. The family joke was every time Cathy went to the lake the clouds rolled in, the rain started and everyone would say “Well, Cathy is here.”

Her greatest joy in life was spending time with her children, Lauren, Sydnie, and Alec, they were her everything! Also spending time with best friend Cindy Gill, and as Cathy referred to them “her peeps”, the Wilson’s, the Jone’s, and the Housh’s.

Cathy left a legacy of love, laughter, and was a warrior of God. We will miss her smile that she had until the end. She was an overcomer and cancer did not win.

Preceding Cathy in death was: paternal grandparents, Earl and Delores Beisner, uncle, Richard Beisner, maternal grandfather, Al Newton, aunt, Rama McClary.
