She graduated from Ruskin High in Kansas City, Missouri in 1964. Kaye married Leland Fuller on Jan 18, 1969. Kaye worked at BMA Insurance for 20 years. She was an avid fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and NASCAR.

As an excellent writer who cared about civil responsibilities, she wrote unifying letters to Congress. In her gentle, yet convincing way, she reminded them of their duties and often achieved impressive results with her powerful words.

Kaye taught the principles of hard work, integrity, loyalty, and leadership, in how she lived and cared for her community.

She was the matriarch to her immediate and extended family, but a mother figure to many.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Maxine Vinson; her husband, Leland Fuller; her brother, John Randall Vinson (Randy); granddaughter, Melanie Edmundson; and grandson, Dalton Fuller.

She is survived by her 2 brothers, Harold Ray Vinson and Anthony Craig Vinson (Janice); and her 4 children, Deanna Maxine Edmundson (Guy), Traci LeAnne Fuller (Chad), Shannon Lynn Chandler (Steve), and Jeremy Wayne Fuller. Kaye also leaves behind 11 grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren, 2 nieces, 4 nephews, and many great-nieces, great-nephews, and cousins. Her family gives gratitude to God for the gift of her time on Earth, and to Kaye for the love she shared.

During our remaining time, we hold her in our hearts until we may hold her again in heaven.

Obituary - Michael J Peters

Michael J Peters, 60, of Harrisonville, MO went home to our Heavenly Father on the morning of Friday, March 24, 2023, in his home. Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, March 28, 2023 at the United Methodist Church in Harrisonville. Friends may call from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Monday, March 27 at the Atkinson Funeral Home in Harrisonville. Memorial contributions may be made to The American Cancer Society.

Mike was born on September 12, 1962 in Monett, MO to the late Ted and Suzanne (Nance) Peters. He was a 1980 Monett High School graduate. He married Susan Stidham on October 15, 2016 in Harrisonville, MO, where they began a life together.

Mike worked for Old Castle Building and Envelope in Atlanta, GA until his retirement. He began his career in architectural sales at EFCO Corp; where he met several lifelong friends and family that he loved even more than his career. Mike made friends anywhere he was. He had an ornery smile and a laugh that was even bigger than life. He was always full of adventure, whether traveling, coaching, or obsessing over sports. His greatest passion in life was being “Papa Mike” and spending time with the family and friends that he loved; most often around the water with good music, food, and lots of laughs.

Mike was preceded in death by his siblings: Chattie Jennings, Kathy Peters, and Larry Peters. He is survived by his wife, Susan Peters, of the home; siblings: John Peters and wife, Sue Dawn, of Noel, MO; and Sabra Patton and husband, Evan, of Purdy, MO; his children: Zacharie Peters of Augusta, KS; and Autumn (Peters) and John Palmer of Pierce City, MO; and bonus children: Tyler and Samantha Stidham of Peculiar, MO; and Kristyn and Kyle Richner, of Buffalo, MO. “Papa” Mike loved his 10 grandchildren wholeheartedly: Jarrett Dombroski, Javon and Trey Milton, Brody Peters, Jaycie Palmer, Jaxson Peters, Charleigh Richner, Wade Richner, Rowan Peters, and Adelynn Stidham.

Obituary - Charles E. Taylor

Charles E. “Charlie” Taylor, passed away peacefully and with grace March 20, 2023 at Belton Regional Medical Center in the arms of his beloved wife, Bella, and surrounded by friends and family. He enjoyed many happy and healthy years before he became ill with pulmonary fibrosis. He was 77 years old.

Charles was born in Kansas City, KS on February 27, 1946 to William and Roseanna Taylor. He was the fifth of six strong-willed children who all managed to survive childhood in the 50’s and 60’s under the sparse supervision of two working parents during a time before seatbelts and cell phones, and with adults smoking in cars with the windows rolled up. 

He spent most of his childhood doing what children of that time did; attending school and generally defending himself and his wilful younger sister from their older brothers and the rest of the neighborhood kids. He and his siblings all survived to adulthood and became, if not stubborn, at least strongly resolved adults with unwavering opinions.

He attended Turner High School and shortly after married his first wife, with whom he shared two sons, Charles Taylor Jr and Mark Lee Taylor. That marriage ended in divorce, after which he spent the majority of his adult life searching for his ideal wife and working as a forklift operator for JC Penney, from which he retired. While working there he met his lovely Bella and lived the remainder of his years as happy as anyone could hope to be. He was also an umpire for little league baseball in The Raymore area and spent time as a school bus driver after retiring from JC Penney.

He enjoyed fishing and spending time with his wife watching movies, doing a little gambling at the casinos, and traveling. He liked nice cars and was meticulous about his person and his home and spent much of his spare time trying to make the world just a bit cleaner and more organized. Sadly he was only able to control a small corner of it, as he had to share the remainder of it with the rest of us. He was very quiet, and thoughtful, and had a wonderful sense of humor.

He was preceded in death by his parents, as well as brothers Fred Taylor and William R. Taylor. He leaves behind his wife Bella Taylor of Peculiar, MO, sons Chuck and Mark, as well as grandsons David Landon and Justin Taylor, all of the Kansas City area. He will also be remembered by sisters Wanda McCall and Marcella Tindle of Kansas City, KS and brother Kenneth Taylor of Edwards, MO. He leaves nieces and nephews Chris Leininger, DeeDee Lesher, Jason Tindle and Mike McCall as well as other extended family and friends. We will miss him dearly.

A visitation will be held at Cullen Funeral Home in Raymore, MO on March 24th from 11:00 AM until 12:00 PM followed by a graveside service at Maple Hill Cemetery in Kansas City, KS.

Arrangements: Cullen Funeral Home, Raymore, Missouri 816.322.5278
