Barbara Holm Wetzler

Barbara Ann Holm Wetzler, 73, of Overland Park, KS, passed away on Dec. 7, 2012 in her home surrounded by her family and friends. She finally was able to beat the hideous ocular melanoma cells that invaded her body more than six years ago by soaring away from them. Barbara was born on Nov. 5, 1939 in Hays, KS, to Eugene and Louise Holm. Her family moved to Prairie Village, KS, in 1953, and she attended Prairie Grade School and graduated from Shawnee Mission High School (now Shawnee Mission North). She attended the University of Kansas where she was a member of Chi Omega sorority and Mortar Board. She earned a degree in Physical Therapy. While attending KU, she met the love of her life, Charles E. Wetzler. They were married in September of 1961 and shared their lives together for over 51 years. Initially Barbara worked as a physical therapist and helped Charlie complete his law degree also at the University of Kansas. During the next decades they raised three children and Barbara worked tirelessly in the community in many capacities. Although she was a member of many organizations and clubs and received many awards, her real interest was helping people at the grass roots level by providing food for the needy; tending a garden for others to enjoy or her healing touch. Public recognition was not important to her. She also had a great love for the family pet, which was usually a dog. All who knew her could easily see that her greatest passions were her faith in God, her family, supporting her husband in his career, and helping others. Her favorite times were family vacations in Colorado and Arizona and family cruises to Alaska, and the Caribbean and Mediterranean seas. However, her most special trips were taking grandchildren Sam and Sophie to Disney World. In mid-life, she obtained a Master's Degree in Special Education also at the University of Kansas. By combining her two degrees, she was able to assist and encourage the physically impaired children, first in the Kansas City, KS, School District and then in the Shawnee Mission School District. Many young students received assistance and comfort from her healing touch. With colleagues at Claude Huyck School, she started Wheels for Freedom, a nonprofit organization whose purpose was to provide motorized wheel chairs for needy and physically impaired children. She was a member of the Junior League of Wyandotte and Johnson Counties where she acquired training and encouragement to create projects in the community. At Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church, she taught Sunday school; served on the altar guild; helped establish and maintain the church garden through the Gardening Angels; did outreach ministries and served on the church Vestry. Her friends made through her church were her closest lifelong friends and provided her inspiration and support during her life's journey. The last three years of her life were consumed with many trips to the Thomas Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia, PA, where she participated in clinical trials to cure her disease; to Hutchinson, KS, to participate in a trial drug program and to the University of Kansas Cancer Institute for radiation and consultation. She accepted these treatments and the interruption to her life with dignity and grace and without complaint. Her treatments allowed her to participate in her 50th wedding anniversary, the marriage of her daughter, Molly, and many family trips and gatherings. Her participation in these trials will also benefit others who have this dreaded disease. Barbara was preceded in death by her father, Eugene V. Holm, and her mother, Louise Holm. She leaves behind her husband, Charles of Overland Park, KS; her son, David Wetzler (wife Lisa), and grandchildren, Sam and Sophie, of Prairie Village, KS; her son, Brad (wife Andrea), of Santa Fe, NM; her daughter, Molly Ann (husband Jim), and granddaughter Allie of Phoenix, AZ; her brother, Ken Holm (wife Nancy), of Prairie Village, KS; her brother, Steven Holm, of Deming, NM; her daughter-in- law, Dianna Delling of Santa Fe, NM. Barbara will always be remembered by her family and friends for her beautiful smile and her willingness to always lend a hand. A visitation will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 12, 2012 from 5 until 7 p.m. at St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church, 6630 Nall Avenue, Mission, KS. Funeral services will be conducted at 11 a.m. in the church followed by a reception in the parish hall. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that a donation be made in Barbara's name to any of the following: St. Michael and All Angels Foundation for Outreach, 6630 Nall Avenue, Mission, KS 66202; KU Cancer Center, Melanoma Research Fund, 2330 Shawnee Mission Parkway, Westwood, KS 66205; Thomas Jefferson University, with notation showing that it is for the Kimmel Cancer Center Uveal Melanoma Research Fund, 233 South 10th Street, Suite 310, Philadelphia, PA 19107 or you can donate online at http://www.kimmelcancercenter.org/kcc/kccnew/help/development/waystogift.htm.

Miss me - But Let Me Go

When I come to the end of the road,
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room,
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little - but not too long,
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we shared,
Miss me - but let me go.
This is a journey that we all must take,
And each must go alone.
This is all part of the Master's plan,
A step on the road to home.
You are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.

Miss me - but let me go.

Dear Members of the Class of '57,

There aren't really adequate words to express how much we appreciate
the outpouring of cards and hugs we have received from the wonderful
people of the Shawnee Mission High School Class of 1957. Kansas City
Hospice just informed us of the very kind and generous contribution
the Class of 1957 has made to them in memory of our wife and mom,
Karen (Clayton) Taylor. We are honored and humbly say "THANK YOU!"
Mom would be totally speechless :)

Kansas City Hospice is an excellent organization and they were
definitely there for us during a very difficult time. If you haven't
had a chance to tour the Kansas City Hospice House, we urge you to do
so. It's a beautiful and peaceful facility, full of compassionate
people.

Thank you again and you have our sincere gratitude and admiration.

Fondly,
The Family of Karen Clayton Taylor - David W. Taylor, and daughters
Sheryl Bolton and Janet Goss

Karen's Original Poem

To my parents - the givers of life;

To my children - the meaning and continuation of life;

To my grandchildren - the joy of life;

To my great-grandchildren - the pure delight of life;

To my relatives - the threads of life;

To my friends - the spice of life;

And, to my beloved husband, David -
My heart's breath, the light of my life.

KAREN E. TAYLOR

Karen E. Taylor, age 68, of Overland Park, Ks, died on March 22, 2008 of cancer, surrounded by her family. A resident of Johnson County since 1948, she was born July 13, 1939 in Creston, Iowa to Walter Dean and Ramona (Van Velsan) Clayton. She graduated from Shawnee Mission High School in 1957 and enjoyed several careers throughout her life, retiring in 2007.

Karen was a lady in every way with a very kind heart and modest manner. She had a passion for life and set a wonderful example of how to live life and treat others. Karen was committed to serving others as a tutor for Literacy Kansas City, serving on the Board of Directors for Oakshire in Overland Park, Kansas, and as a member of the Hand Bell Choir and volunteer at Church of the Resurrection. She was an avid learner who believed in keeping young by learning new things, such as tap dancing, tai chi, playing the recorder, and wool rug hooking. She loved music, reading, shopping for shoes, spending time with friends and family and thought it was fun to be a girl!

Karen's accomplishments include playing the Mormon Tabernacle pipe organ in 1976, receiving the Highest Award for Achievement from the Dale Carnegie Course in 2005, and she was an important member of the Shawnee Mission High Class of 1957 50^th Year Reunion Committee where she took great pride in creating and maintaining the class reunion web site.

Karen was a precious wife, a cherished mother, a very loving grandmother and great-grandmother, and a dear friend. Our loss will never be overcome but we will carry her spirit with us and she will help guide us through each new day.
