Obituary - Arlene Renee' Sevy
Burial will be in Orient Cemetery, Harrisonville. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (stjude.org) or to Disabled American Veterans (dav.org) in Reneé’s name.
Arlene Reneé Belanger was born on May 25, 1932 in Hibbing, Minnesota, the daughter of Rene and Florence (Strand) Belanger. The eldest of six, she was like a mother to her siblings, taking on many of the mothering duties because her mother worked many late hours as a nurse.
Arlene married Lyle Eisel July 18, 1951 in Superior, Wisconsin. Mark Eisel was born of that union in October of 1952. The young couple divorced and she became a single working mom. While working at Kitche’s Café in Superior, Arlene met Bill Sevy. Bill was working for Massman Construction, building the Blatnic Bridge that now connects Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin over the St. Louis Bay. He chose to eat at Kitche’s quite regularly after meeting Arlene and so won the hearts of Arlene, hereafter referred to as Reneé, and Mark after a short courtship.
She married William “Bill” Sevy on September 8, 1959 in Pine County, Minnesota. The three soon became four when William “Casey” Sevy was born in Lincoln, Nebraska in August of 1960. Moving to Missouri in 1960 and making their home in Harrisonville, Missouri, the couple had three more children, Lane Rene, Alison Ann, and Christopher Derl. Reneé’s most loved occupation was mother of five, grandma of eight and great-grandma of fourteen. She loved her family. She was a bookkeeper for Western Auto and more recently Friedrich’s Tax Service. Reneé loved the friends of the Bingo Social club that met monthly for several years. She was an avid reader, until her eyes failed her.
Reneé was preceded in death by her father and mother, her son, Christopher, her husband, Bill and her brother, Tom Belanger. She leaves behind her sons, Mark Eisel and wife, Kathy, Casey Sevy and wife, Belinda, Lane Sevy and wife, Dena, and daughter, Alison Parker and husband, Eric, all of Harrisonville, MO; brother, Michael Belanger and wife, Cherlyn; sisters, Karen Benner and husband, Douglas, and Sandra Johnson; brother, Gary Belanger and wife, Gina; 8 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.

She was recruited from high school into federal civil service and continued her education with courses taken at Rockhurst and Central Missouri State University.
She married the love of her life, Leon Wesley Lee, on August 18, 1956 at Hume United Methodist Church, and to this union, three children were born: Susan, Larry, and Lisa. Linda and Leon enjoyed 58 years of marriage before Leon’s passing on October 28, 2014. They lived most of those years on their family farm in Freeman, Missouri, which is where they raised their three children.
Linda retired after 25 years of service with the federal government: working with the United States Air Force from 1951 to 1969 at both Richards-Gebaur AFB and Whiteman AFB as a Clerk, Stenographer, Statistical Clerk, Management Technician, Administrative Officer, and Industrial Engineering Technician. She left that work in 1969, shortly after her third child was born, and returned to federal service at the Internal Revenue Service in Kansas City to finish out her 25 years of service only after all three children were enrolled in college. Linda was a member and Treasurer of the Mary Sibley Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and a member of the Freeman Presbyterian Church.
Linda will be remembered for her infectious smile, her welcoming nature, and her abiding love for her family. In lieu of flowers sent to the service, the family requests that you send them to someone you love; give of your time, talent, or treasure to the Freeman Presbyterian Church, the Alzheimer’s Association, or a charity of your choice; and take your grandma out for lunch. It is as she would have wanted.

She is survived by her daughter, Susan Lynn Lee, and her husband, Eric Thompson, of Lee’s Summit, MO; her son, Larry Wesley Lee, his wife, Beth, of Stilwell, KS, and their three children: Kirsten, Anna, and Jenae; her daughter, Lisa Ann Lee, of Denver, CO; her brother, James “Jim” Bartlett, and his wife, Carol; many nieces and nephews; her amazing caregivers; and countless friends.
