Obituary - Donna Clidene Burrus

Donna Clidene Burrus, 75, Nevada, MO, departed from earth only to be welcomed by her Lord and Savior in Heaven on Thursday, January 28, 2021. Donna was born on May 1,1945 in Sheldon, MO to Dorothy Louise Irvin and Ralph Hershell Roby. She was raised in Milo, MO by her wonderful grandparents, Minnie Louise and Alonzo (Shorty) Laccoarce.

Donna attended grade school in Sheldon and graduated from Nevada High School class of 1964. Following graduation, Donna started a family. Becoming a mother established her love and admiration for little ones. As her children got older and built friendships, Donna became a friend and mother to her children’s friends and family. She was impartial and showed love to all who knew her.

Her compassion for children motivated her to pursue a career at Head Start, which began in 1970. Donna faced many trials in her life, one of which was losing her two sons, Oran and Travis, in 1984. During that difficult time, Donna embraced her faith evermore and comforted those around her with God’s word. Following her daughter’s death in 1995, Donna continued Lisa’s dream of a home daycare. Her selflessness led her to provide sanctuary to many of her grandchildren by providing a safe and loving home. Through her many years of home daycare, she has been influential to many families by becoming a grandma to their children and teaching them God’s unconditional love.

Survivors include one son, Elvy Burrus, Jr.; six grandchildren, Brooke Silvola, Micha Cargill, Khameron Cargill, Kendra Shepherd, Logan Burrus, Emily Burrus and numerous inherited daycare grandchildren; eleven great-grandchildren, Rhylee, Asher, Khadyn, Finley, Rayden, Bryce, Andrea, Gavin, Conner, Adalynn, and Ella; one great-great grandchild, Lucas; and one sister, Maria Tucker, Hugo, OK; and an abundance of dear friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; grandparents; two sons, Oran and Travis; one daughter, Lisa; one grandson, Khaleb Cargill; and two brothers, Ralph Roby and Francis (Benny) Irvin.

A Celebration of Life Ceremony will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 13, 2021 at the First Baptist Church in Nevada with Pastors Jerry Pyle and Mark Mitchell officiating.

Arrangements are under the direction of Ferry Funeral Home, Nevada.

In lieu of flowers and gifts, a scholarship fund has been established for her great-grandsons, Rayden and Bryce Cargill, who reside in the home. The family is asking the community to share memories and pictures of Donna by emailing them to donnabmemories@gmail.com.

New disc golf course being constructed in Nevada

EXCITING NEWS! Bigger, Better Disc Golf is On It's Way! Thanks to Parks & Recreation, with the HUGE assistance of Public Works.

 
Nevada Parks and Recreation is building a new, 18 hole, regulation size DISC GOLF COURSE!

Parks and Recreation, and your Parks Board, are excited to announce our current very small, 9 hold disc golf course at Marmaduke Park is being replaced!

 
Parks & Recreation hired Eric McCabe, professional disc golfer and course designer, to design a regulation size, 18 hold disc golf course for our community. We are so excited. The course will be free to the public for normal everyday play. 

We will also be able to run fee based tournaments to help pay for future improvements to our park system.

A very special thank you to our Public Works department. Without their expertise and willingness to be involved in this project it simply would not have happened. 

Public Works is regularly involved with Parks and Recreation to make many of the events happen each year and to lend their expertise and skills to projects both large and small. Hats off to great team work from a great group of people.

 
As of today, January 28th, the construction begins! That also means the existing disc golf course is closed to the public as we remove existing baskets, and lay out the new course. Meanwhile, you can look at the layout for the new, expanded course.
