Ellen Meyer Obituary
Born on December 17, 1917 in Kansas City, MO, Marie was a life-long area resident who graduated from Paseo High School. She worked as an air brush artist at Hallmark Cards, before careering as a medical stenographer at the University of Kansas Medical School while her husband attended medical school. During and after the years of raising her two children, she volunteered for her children's activities, church and community.
Husband of 64 years, Paul W. Meyer, M.D.; parents Karl and Ellen Scott; brother Karl Scott, Jr.; and sister Dorothy Bell preceded Marie in death. She is survived by son Paul W. Meyer Jr.; daughter and son-in-law Jo and Gary Missildine and grandson Matthew Missildine, all of Kansas City, MO; grandson and wife Timothy and Candice Missildine and great-grandson Mark of Shanghai, China; and nieces and nephews of multiple places.
In lieu of flowers, kindly give to the Paul W. Meyer, MD Orthopedic Education Fund in care of the St. Luke's Hospital Foundation; Children's Mercy Hospital and Clinics Orthopedic Department; or any charity of your choice.

My sympathies to the entire family. Marie and Paul were friends with my parents from times together at Trinity Evangelical Untied Brethen church. And, that friendship told much about Marie's spirit of helping and giving. I recall sparkling eyes and laughter. How wonderful that she had many years to leave a legacy to Jo, Paul, Jr, grand and great-children of a life well-lived and filled by kindness and love. Time and memories will tenderly replace the sadness.

Marie has been our neighbor since 1978 and she will be dearly missed. Paul and Marie were the senior couple and we were the young couple moving to the growing Verona Gardens subdivision. She always had many stories to tell. My favorite was when her single Mother, raising three children, brought home a kitten in her coat pocket. This was after riding two different buses to arrive home after a day of work. Marie was so happy and surprised to see the kitten peeking out of her Mother's pocket. Marie's eyes sparkled whenever she told the story. This was a very special day in her childhood. Just a week before she passed, I saw Marie going to her mailbox. Winter is coming and we wouldn't get a chance to visit as often. Marie and I visited and talked about a Meyer Christmas breakfast tradition. Paul and Jo, please keep this one, it meant so much to your Mother. Whenever we look out the window towards her home, we experience a void. Yes, winter is coming and I wanted to visit my friend that day. I just didn't know winter would be this long.
