Her indelible zip lining incident will definitely still be talked about for years to come. She was quick with her comebacks and the laugh she had with the occasional snort. Linda enjoyed attending services at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses and held her fellow brothers and sisters there close to her heart.

Timothy Fenton December 12, 1957-September 15, 2025

Terry Linn Karr, age 73, of Savannah, Missouri, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on September 15, 2025. He was born on March 18, 1952, in Bolckow, Missouri, to Charles Cloyd Karr and Olive Elizabeth Karr (Hopkins). Terry’s father, Charles, passed away when Terry was just four years old. In March of 1962, Olive married Elton Heckman, who lovingly stepped into the role of father for Terry and his siblings.

Terry attended North Andrew Schools, where he graduated in 1970. It was during these years that he met his lifelong partner, Betty Ellen Fries. They were married on January 8, 1971, and together they raised three daughters. Terry went on to earn his Bachelor of Science in Physical Education from Northwest Missouri State University, followed by a Master’s in Educational Leadership and Specialist Certification in Superintendency.

Terry began his career in education as a teacher at Fillmore, Missouri, and later taught in Rosendale and Savannah, Missouri. His passion for education led him to serve as an assistant principal in Savannah, and eventually, he became the Superintendent at King City R-1 Schools, where he concluded his distinguished career.

In addition to his role as an educator, Terry was a dedicated coach who spent many years coaching football and girls' basketball. His love for sports continued throughout his life, and he was a familiar face at his grandchildren's sporting events, always ready with encouragement and coaching advice.

Terry was also an avid hunter and fisherman. Some of his most treasured friendships were formed with those who shared his passion for these activities. Whether in the field or on the water, Terry found joy in nature and in the camaraderie of those who joined him in pursuit of it.

Throughout his life he exhibited incredible resilience in the face of adversity. For 36 years, Terry courageously battled Parkinson's disease. Despite the challenges, he never let the illness define him. His strength and perseverance were an inspiration to all who knew him. He continued to live life fully, maintaining his sense of humor, his love for family, and his passion for the things he loved most, including sports, teaching, and spending time with his grandchildren. Terry’s fight against Parkinson’s was a testament to his unwavering spirit and his dedication to living each day with grace and determination.

Terry's marriage to Betty was a shining example of commitment, love, and partnership. Through the ups and downs of life, including health struggles, they stood together as a united front. Their 54 years of marriage served as an admirable example to their children, grandchildren, and all who knew them. Terry and Betty’s love was marked by deep respect, kindness, and mutual support, even in the toughest times. Their unwavering commitment to each other was a living testament to the strength of their bond and the lasting impact of a loving partnership.

Terry was preceded in death by his parents, Charles Cloyd Karr, Olive Heckman, and Elton Heckman, and his sister, Sadie (Junior) Crail.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 54 years, Betty Karr, of the home; his three daughters, Dottie (Dan) Stoll of King City, Addie (Chad) Hunter of King City, and Buffie (Brian) Price of St. Joseph; his sister, Betty (Ivan) Hendricks of Rosendale; his brothers, David (Judy) Karr of Savannah and Larry (Ruth) Heckman of Savannah; his grandchildren, Shelby (Trevor) Gartner, Cheyanne (Kyle) Hefley, Raven Price, Brant (Elaina) Price, Tyler (Vanessa) Hunter, Taylin (Mason) Graff, Taryn Hunter, ; as well as his great-grandchildren, Oakley and Oran Hefley, Margot Gartner and Baby Graff.&nbsp;

Terry will be remembered for his kind heart, unwavering dedication to family, and his passion for both education and the great outdoors. He leaves behind a legacy of faith, strength, and a deep love for those who knew him. His family and friends will cherish the memories of the times shared with him, and he will be greatly missed.

Rest in peace, Terry. Your legacy lives on in the lives you touched.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Romans 15:13

Our world is a little dimmer without the bright light and joy of Amy Margaret Robertson. Her natural joy and beautiful smile will be sadly missed.&nbsp;Amy was born in Saint Joseph, MO on July 15th, 1992. She is the daughter of Janey Robertson Johnston and Matthew Johnston. She spent her first 6 years in Saint Joseph, and then her family moved to Columbia, MO. She attended Fairview Elementary in Columbia, MO through 5th grade. While in Columbia she gained two new siblings, received her First Holy Communion at Our Lady of Lourdes, and made life long friendships. After 5th grade her family moved back to Saint Joseph, and she attended Saint Francis Xavier for middle school. She had very fond memories of her time at Saint Francis Xavier. During this time she gained two more siblings. She was the ultimate big sister. About this time she found her passion for swimming. She was on the swim team from 6th grade through high school, and continued it throughout her adult life. She went on to graduate from Central High School in 2011.

While in high school, her Catholic faith and love for God started to become more important. Her involvement with many mission trips developed her love for Jesus even more. She had a profound knowledge of her faith that taught many of us so much. Because of family members that lived in Colorado, she had the opportunity to move there after high school where she made beautiful friends, and got involved with the Saint Thomas Aquinas parish in Boulder. While in Colorado she worked for Saint Gabriel’s House for single mothers and Bella Health and Wellness, a life affirming faith based OB-GYN. She got involved with mission trips to El Salvador, Mexico City, Sisters for Life in New York City, Totus Tuus youth program, and went to Poland and Europe for World Youth Day in 2016. She loved her time in Denver and Boulder with her family and friends and made her very best memories there.

Amy had a great enthusiasm for all sports. She loved watching and cheering on the Chiefs, Colorado Buffalos, Mizzou Tigers, Royals, and professional tennis. She loved being with her family, practicing her faith, swimming, going to the ocean, going on walks, her coffee drinks, being with friends, hosting parties, reading, and loved music. Amy had such great taste and loved her shopping too. She knew the true meaning of friendship, and was a great friend to others.

In January of 2022 Amy moved to Dallas Texas to start a new adventure working for Bishop Robert Barron and Word on Fire. She had a great experience at Word on Fire until December of 2022, when she was diagnosed with AML Leukemia. That is when we saw what Amy was really made of. Her strength, courage and faith was so inspiring during her fight against AML. She even completed 18 hours of college credit during her illness. She was an amazing advocate for herself with all of her health challenges along this journey. The love, support and prayers she received from all helped her so much during this time&nbsp;Amy’s parents, friends, aunts, uncles, cousins and siblings meant so much to her. She was all about faith, family and friends. We will continue her legacy of faith, love and natural joy.&nbsp;

Amy is survived by her parents, siblings- Sarah, Jeffrey, Patrick, Timothy, Josie, Katie, and Trey, many loving and supportive aunts and uncles, cousins and friends.&nbsp;Donations may be given in honor of Amy Margaret to Saint Francis Xavier School, Bishop Leblond High School or the Leukemia &amp; Lymphoma Society.&nbsp;The family will receive friends from 5-7 pm with the Rosary to be prayed at 7:00 pm Thursday, September 18, 2025 at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 am Friday, September 19, 2025 at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, Fr. Ryan Oneal, and Fr. Garrett King con-celebrants. The interment will be at the Mount Olivet Cemetery, St. Joseph, MO.&nbsp;
