Kathleen York was born, along with her identical twin sister, on March 23, 1935 in St. Joseph, Missouri. She passed away at the home of her daughter on February 16, 2026 at the age of 90 years, 10 months and 24 days.

When Kathleen was born, she was given the name Lorine Fay Harrison, her twin was Loretta May. At the age of 5 months, both were taken to the “Sheltering Arms” home in St. Joseph and were placed for adoption. When the twins were 15 months old, they were adopted by Victor and Julia Smith, and their names were legally changed to Kathleen and Karaleen. The Smiths gave them a wonderful home full of love and they gave love and devotion to their parents in return.

Kathleen grew up knowing that she was adopted, and also learned that there had been an older brother adopted by another family. Kathleen was curious, but her parents did not encourage her plans to find out more. She dreamed of searching out her biological family.

In 1981, she was able to start her search. She found the name of the family that adopted her older brother, but never got to meet him. She did find other family members and through them learned that another brother had been born to her parents. Kathleen was able to track him down and was able to learn more family history.

Kathleen’s journey through life was shaped by the family that she knew, but the family she never got to know became her mission. She was forever grateful to the parents who raised her and her twin.

Kathleen was married to Gerald York for 33 years. Together they had 5 children: Melissa, Susan, Brenda, Roger, and Diane.

Kathleen was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Karaleen. She is survived by her children, Melissa West, Susan (Jeff) Ramey; Brenda (Greg) Merrigan, Roger (Christina) York, and Diane (Troy) Sheets; 16 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren; and 2 great great grandchildren.

Kathleen was cremated under the direction of Roberson Funeral Home in Bethany, Missouri. A memorial graveside service will be held at 11:00 AM on Monday, February 23, 2026 at Miriam Cemetery in Bethany, Missouri.

Charles Mark Mitchell, age 85, passed away peacefully on February 16, 2026, at 3:35 AM at Lake Regional Hospital in Osage Beach, MO, located in the Lake of the Ozarks, surrounded by loving family members.

Mark was born on January 28, 1941, in Kansas City, MO, the only son of Dr. Charles Wilton Mitchell of Chismville, AR, and Neva Neola Mitchell of Clifton, KS, both of whom preceded him in death. He was raised in Platte City, MO, and later attended Westminster College in Fulton, MO, where he earned a degree in Business Administration and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army upon graduation.

He proudly served his country for eight years, including service in Vietnam from November 1967 to November 1968, and retired from active duty as a Major with the 101st Airborne Division.

Following his military service, Mark built a successful career in business, holding several outside sales positions before joining Bosch in the Power Tools division. He spent more than 30 years with Bosch and retired in 2008 as Director of North American Sales.

In addition to his professional accomplishments, Mark had a lifelong love of boating and life on the water. He fulfilled that passion by owning many boats over the years. After retirement, he maintained a live-aboard boat on Lake Michigan during the summers and spent the remainder of the year in Osage Beach. In 2018, he became a full-time resident of Osage Beach and cherished the peace and beauty of the water, particularly during quiet walks along the lake in his later years.

He is survived by his sons, David Mitchell (Claudia) and Ben Moore; and his grandchildren, Allison, Adam, and Ryan Mitchell (Anna Marie), and Hannah, Lauren, and Madelyn Moore.

To most friends he was known simply as Mark, while his family lovingly called him Dad, GrandDaddy, and Grandpa Mark.

Mark will be remembered as a man of deep integrity, wisdom, and kindness who generously shared his love with family, friends, and all who knew him. His Christian faith was central to his life, and his family finds comfort in believing he has been welcomed into God’s Kingdom with the words, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

Rest in peace, Dad. You ran a great race! We ALL love you and we will carry you in our hearts until we see you again in Heaven! Arrangements By: Rollins Funeral Home, Platte City, MO.
