State Farm Student Athlete of the Week

This week we traveled to Adrian to award Senior Harlee Newkirk with athlete of the week. Harlee was nominated by her golf coach Tina Gaylord. Coach Gaylord stated “this is the first year to have girls golf at Adrian and Harlee is a leader and supporter of her teammates.

She is always taking the time to work on things she feels she needs to improve on and also willing to help her teammates. She most recently placed 4th at the conference golf tournament. Harlee’s work ethic and wanting to succeed separate her from the crowd.” Harlee participates in golf, basketball and softball at Adrian.

We asked Harlee what she thought the most difficult part of being a student athlete is and she stated “balancing everything, with schoolwork, practice and tournaments”. We asked her who her role model is when it comes to sports and she said Coach Jill Jacobs. She stated it’s not just because I play basketball for her, but she treats everyone like you should. She always encourages and is supportive and lets you know she’s there. 

She is also a strong Christian and that is important to me as I want to be as well.” When we asked Harlee what she feels it takes to become an elite athlete she stated “you have to have discipline in everything. Even if you take one day off there is someone else who isn’t and is using that time to get better than you are. You have to try to do everything you can to be the best you can.”

Harlee is undecided on her future plans after graduation and will either be attending college to major in exercise science and nutrition or she might be looking into enlisting into the military.” It was a pleasure talking with Harlee and we wish her and her team the best of luck as they compete at Districts.

Obituary - Kim Spence - Worley

Kimberly Marie Spence-Worley is now at peace and pain free from the hell of ALS. Her courageous battle ended when she went to her heavenly home on Thursday, October 3, 2024 surrounded in love by her family.

Kim faced her disease and fought ALS with her fierce spirit and dignity. She serves as an example of bravery and courage to all of us who witnessed her journey. 

A visitation will be held on Monday, October 7, 2024 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Dickey Funeral Home, Harrisonville, Missouri with Funeral Service held on Tuesday, October 8, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. at Dickey Funeral Home, Harrisonville, Missouri. Burial will be at Orient Cemetery. The arrangements are with Dickey Funeral Home at 2401 E Mechanic Street, Harrisonville, MO.

October 16, 1964 was a beautiful fall day in New Underwood, South Dakota. A gorgeous baby girl was born to Donald Spence and Luann (Kleinschmit) Spence, and they named her Kimberly Marie. The Spence family moved in 1970 from South Dakota to Ponca City OK where Kim attended school and graduated from PO-HI in 1983.

Kim moved to Kansas City in 1986 and began working at Sprint. The next few years her family grew with the births of Andrea and Dillon. The family located to Harrisonville in 1997 where the kids completed school and started their own lives. Andrea and Dillon both blessed Kim with the greatest gift ever.... being called grandma by Anthony, Jaycee, Cannon, and Birdee. Kim loved to spoil them, spend lake time together, and cheer them on at their sporting events.

Kim married Greg Worley September 3, 2016 at their Pomme de Terre lake house. They spent their time remodeling their home and spending as much time as possible at the lake house. Kim would find some old piece of junk and Greg would create a light fixture, shelf, or whatever Kim wanted from it. She always had a project to do or something she thought of for Greg to create. Kim treasured having a good time with large family gatherings and valued the weekend getaways. Vacation time was spent traveling anywhere there was a beach beginning with their honeymoon to Florida and continued forward. Their last trip was taking the family to Disney World

Her career with Sprint continued until she retired in 2021 after 35 years. She worked in the Payroll and Human Resources departments at the world headquarters. While there, she enlarged her circle of friends, and many are considered extended family.

Those left with cherished memories are mother Luann Spence, husband Greg Worley, children Andrea Anthony and Dillon Anthony, stepson Michael Worley, grandchildren Anthony Coffelt, Jaycee Saling, Cannon and Birdee Anthony. Kim's siblings Roxann Cool (Brad), Lance Spence (Virginia) Gary Rupp (Karen) and Shane Spence (Jessica). She leaves behind nieces and nephews who loved their Aunt Kim immensely. Numerous friends who shared times with love, laughter, and will always lift a "red beer" to Kimmie.

Family that welcomed Kim to Heaven are her Dad, Donald Spence, Nephews Blake Cool, Curtis Spence, Grandparents Frank & Shandon Kleinschmit.

Kim had an enormous and generous heart. Her wish was that donations be made in her name to St Croix Hospice, or to ALS Association and send in care to Dickey Funeral Home, P.O. Box 432, Harrisonville, Missouri 64701.
