And that’s a wrap!

And that's a wrap! After more than 10 amazing years, Akins PC Repair LLC Harrisonville office has officially closed its doors. What a journey it has been—with three offices and thousands of incredible customers, we’ve experienced unforgettable moments along the way.

To our Harrisonville community: thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your unwavering support over the years. You've truly been the heart and soul of what we do.

Many of you have asked about the reason for this move, and the simple answer is: it’s time for a change. Running an office that's open six days a week and being on call nearly 24/7 has been both rewarding and demanding. To better balance work and family life, I’ve chosen a new office location that’s closer to home and more centralized. This decision allows me to spend less time on the road and more time recharging with my loved ones.

We’re excited to announce that, starting December 30th, you can find us at our new office: 410 Main St, Belton, MO. We look forward to continuing to serve you from our new location!

Thank you again for being part of this incredible chapter. Here’s to new beginnings, and as always, we’re just a call away if you need us!

Obituary - Bonnie Henderson

Bonnie was born September 18, 1943 in Martin City Missouri to Leo Calvin and Viola Mae (Rice) Zollman.

Bonnie had two sisters Leona Lowe and Naomi Hestand and one brother Calvin Ray Zollman. Bonnie married Gerald (Jerry) Henderson May 26, 1962 and they had two children Michael E Henderson and Sandra K (Henderson) McIntosh and two grandchildren Makayla McIntosh and Morgan McIntosh and many nieces and nephews.

Bonnie and Jerry began their life together in Raymore MO later moving to Appleton City and then to their farm near Blairstown, MO. After Jerry’s passing Bonnie lived in Harrisonville, MO where she lived the remainder of her life.

Bonnie was a devoted wife and mother but also spent years working in other pursuits such as working in business offices, assistant nursing and working on the farm. Wherever she lived she was always active in the churches that she and her family attended. She enjoyed cooking and gardening and if you were lucky you received one of her hand pieced quilts. She will be remembered for her Christmas boxes of candy and cookies and her Halloween popcorn balls were legendary. She also liked games, whether it be watching baseball or football or playing cards, dominos or marbles.

Bonnie could always be counted on to help out with anything. She especially enjoyed working in bible school or helping out with the youth group and helping elderly family and friends with their needs. Bonnie was always happiest spending time with her family and friends and especially her granddaughters and you always had fun when she was around.

Bonnie passed away December 25, 2024 but she touched many people’s lives in many different ways with her loving and caring sprit and no words can ever express how much she will be missed.
