Mavis was born at Ft. Leavenworth in Leavenworth, Kansas and lived in the Kansas City area until her passing at 87 years old.

For the last eighteen years of her life, she lived with her daughter Evelyn who took wonderful, loving care of her every day.

During her last years, she demonstrated a clear and profound commitment to her family, making sure she was always there to listen, provide support and wisdom that was garnered through a life time love of learning. She deeply cherished and valued her family. She strived to be good Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother, making sure we knew she loved us, with all her heart.
