Kathleen "Kathy" (Walters) Morris Obituary
Kathy was preceded in death by her parents Dorothy and Howard Walters, Sister LeAnn VanGerpen and beloved husband Edward Morris. She is survived by her daughter Jennifer Johnson (Erik); son Jeffrey Morris (Adam); grandsons Leif and Hakon Johnson, and two adorable dogs Dorie and Tinker.
Kathy retired from Kansas City Power & Light (KCPL) in 1999 after 33 years of service which primarily focused on managing the implementation of large-scale computer systems. Kathy and Ed moved to the Lake of the Ozarks in 2000 where they shared many fond memories. They both became very active in the Laurie MO Elks Lodge and devoted much of their time to the various benevolent activities of the Lodge. Kathy credited KCPL for her ability to effectively assist officers, prepare grants and perform many of the required business activities of the Lodge. For fun, Kathy enjoyed playing Bridge, Gin Rummy and Shuffleboard in addition to just enjoying life on the lake.
In Lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Elks Lodge #2705, P.O. Box 1324, Laurie, MO 65038.

Kathleen was one of the first people I met when we moved to Raytown in 1957. Our friendship developed, spanning 61 years. Her personality oozed, she always had a smile to share, and knew no stranger.
Soar high my friend ... you will be missed!!
A Tribute to Kathy for all you have done.

If you want to know the true definition of a friend, it would be Kathy Morris, she was a very close friend to my wife Wanda & I. She was one of the sweetest people you would ever want to meet. She was also a very good Elk, she helped to make our Elk Lodge great. She worked tirelessly in the Lodge Office helping to take care of the financial books. If you wanted to know anything about the Lodge finance, just ask Kathy. She would run reports to help with the budget & anything else that you wanted to know. She also applied for Grants from the Grand Lodge & as a result was able to get many thousands of dollars for the Lodge to help our community. Plus she helped with many other aspects & activities of our Lodge. She was a very devoted & Loyal Elk. Kathy was just a great person. We shall all miss her.

We are so sorry for your loss. I graduated from Raytown High School with Kathleen, I see you all call her Kathy now. Both my husband and I were friends with her. I know you all will really miss her. I remember her as being a very good dancer.

Aunt Kathleen was an amazing woman who I admired and respected so much. She always wanted to do for others and make them happy. From the moment I met her, she welcomed me into the family with open arms. She made me laugh on many occasions.....
Jeff and Jennifer, we are sorry for this tremendous loss. She will be sorely missed, and Karen, Lauren, Lane and I are here for you for anything. We Love you.

Dear Kathy:
You and Ed were some of the best friends that a person can have. I hope and pray that you and Ed are back together so we can play cards again. Love you and your family.
