Alice Reagan Obituary

Visit the Carson-Speaks Chapel website to view the full obituary.

Alice Marie Reagan, formerly of Buckner, Missouri, passed away Thursday, February 5th, 2026, in Kansas City, Missouri, at the age of 93.

Alice was born to Harry Isadore Bollinger and Hattie Viola Bollinger on April 4, 1932, in Guthrie Oklahoma.

Alice grew up in Fort Scott, Kansas. She met Leo Patrick (Pat) Reagan in July of 1954. After a three-month courtship, they were married on October 8th, 1954, and relocated to Kansas City. The couple moved to Buckner, Missouri in 1961, where they raised their three children and lived for 64 years. Alice did not work outside the home. Her housekeeping skills and reputation were such that one could "eat off of her floor," and she enjoyed cooking, working in the yard and tending to her plants and flowers. She was a founding member of the Catholic Church of the Santa Fe in Buckner and was active in the Altar Society, church fundraisers, bake sales, funeral luncheons and whatever else was needed at the church, for many years.

Alice was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 71 years, Leo Patrick Reagan, a son, Michael Lee Reagan, her parents, and two brothers, Leo Bollinger and Raymond Bollinger. She is survived by son Charles Reagan, daughter Patricia McCollum (Paul), granddaughter Heather Cook (Ray), grandsons Brendon Yaeger (Monika) and Eric McCollum (Jessica) and great-grandson Mason Cook, along with siblings Dorothea Elbrader, Debbie Keating, Paul Bollinger and Bernard Bollinger, and many cherished nieces and nephews.

A memorial visitation will be held on Friday, March 6, 2026 at 10:30 am at the Catholic Church of the Santa Fe, 231 S. Sibley Street, Buckner, MO, followed by a funeral mass beginning at 11 am. An inurnment will take place at the Buckner Cemetery, and a luncheon at the church following the inurnment.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests Memorial donations to Hospice House of Kansas City.
