Deborah Darlene Yocum Ford, age 70, of Holden, Missouri, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family. Though her passing leaves a deep sadness in the hearts of those who loved her, the memories she created, the laughter she shared, and the love she gave so freely will remain with her family forever.
Deborah was born on Sunday, February 5, 1956, in Saint Louis, Missouri, to the late Willard Yocum and Eileen Baumgartner Yocum. She grew up in Saint Louis and graduated from Normandy High School in 1974. Throughout her life, Deborah built a family and a home filled with love, laughter, and the everyday moments that often become our most treasured memories.
On April 7, 2012, Deborah married Patrick Joseph Ford in Branson, Missouri. Their marriage brought together two families, with Deborah's daughters, Sarah and Monica, and Patrick's son, Ryan, becoming part of one family. Together, they shared life's joys, created memories, and built a life centered around the people who meant the most to them.
Deborah was a woman of Christian faith who carried her beliefs in her heart and lived her life with a generous spirit. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a proud grandmother. Her family was her greatest blessing, and nothing brought her more happiness than knowing her loved ones were near. She had a special way of making the people around her feel cared for, and she was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed one. Her kindness was not something she simply talked about; it was something she showed through the way she lived. Her family was the center of her world, and her love will continue to surround them in the years ahead.
Laughter was a big part of Deborah's life. She enjoyed finding happiness in the simple pleasures of each day. Whether she was sitting outside watching the birds visit the yard, enjoying the wildlife that wandered by, or tending to her garden, she appreciated the beauty of the world around her. She also enjoyed playing cards and dominoes, and her family knew she was a pretty tough competitor at the game table.
Her grandchildren, Luke, Titus, and Audrey, were among her greatest joys. Deborah treasured the time she spent with each of them and took pride in watching them grow.
Deborah also had a soft spot for animals and dearly loved her three dogs, who were special members of her family. Her caring nature extended beyond her own household, too. She once welcomed a foreign exchange student from France into her home for the school year, opening her doors and sharing American life and culture with her. It was another example of Deborah's willingness to make room in her life for others and to offer warmth, kindness, and a sense of belonging.
Deborah was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Willard and Eileen Yocum; her brother, Mike Yocum; and her sister, Lorretta Yocum.
Those left to cherish her memory include her loving husband, Patrick Joseph Ford; her daughters, Sarah Hargreaves and her husband, Schandrasekhar Ommi, of Overland Park, Kansas, and Monica Miller and her husband, Jake, of Warsaw, Missouri; her stepson, Ryan Ford of Overland Park, Kansas; her brothers, Kenny Yocum and Brian Yocum, both of Saint Louis, Missouri; her sister, Kimberly Yocum, of Saint Louis, Missouri; and her beloved grandchildren, Luke Miller, Titus Miller, and Audrey Miller. She also leaves behind her two cherished dogs and many other loved ones who will miss her dearly.
A memorial service celebrating Deborah's life will be held on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at Campbell-Cast Funeral Home, 407 S. Pine Street, Holden, Missouri. Family and friends are invited to gather to honor Deborah's life, share memories, and celebrate the love she brought into the world.

Doris Marie Chester, age 96, of Liberty, Missouri, passed away peacefully on Monday, August 24, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family. She leaves behind a lifetime of memories, a family who loved her dearly, and a legacy that will continue through the generations who knew and loved her.
Doris was born on Thursday, May 15, 1930, in Flint, Michigan, to the late Frank Emerson Liggett and Elsie Margaret (Hill) Liggett. In the early 1930s, her family moved to their family home in Hume, Missouri. During the difficult years of the Great Depression, the family eventually moved to Kansas City, Missouri, in 1940. Doris graduated from Central High School in Kansas City in 1948.
On February 10, 1951, in Kansas City, Missouri, Doris married Joule Keith “JK” Chester, the love of her life. Their marriage was filled with love, laughter, devotion, and 64 wonderful years of memories together. They were blessed with three daughters, and Doris devoted herself wholeheartedly to her family. She took great pride in creating a loving home and being there for the people she loved most. Doris enjoyed spending time with her family, especially taking trips to the Lake of the Ozarks and camping. Those early family memories were ones she carried with her throughout her life, reflecting the importance she always placed on family and togetherness.
In October 1987, after JK retired from TWA, the two began a new chapter of their lives when they purchased a small farm in Holden, Missouri. Doris truly found joy in country life. She loved working in her garden, growing flowers, caring for the animals, and enjoying the peacefulness of their home. She found happiness in the simple things—watching something she had planted grow, caring for her animals, spending time with family and friends, and making memories with the people who meant the most to her.
Doris and JK shared a life built on love and companionship, and their home was a place where family and friends were always welcomed. Doris was a longtime member of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority, sharing many wonderful friendships and cherished memories with fellow members in both Kansas City and Holden. She and JK were also very active in the Holden VFW, where they enjoyed being involved in the community and spending time with friends. Their 64 years together were a testament to the love and commitment they shared. Even after JK’s passing on February 22, 2015, the memories of the life they built together remained an important part of Doris’s heart.
Doris was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Joule “JK” Chester; her daughter, Carol Marie Taylor; her parents, Frank and Elsie Liggett; her brother, Frank C. Liggett; her sisters, Ida Jane Cowan and Margaret Ilene Snodgrass; and her son in-law, Richard Butler.
She will be lovingly remembered by her daughters, Marsha Morales and husband Ricardo of Independence, Missouri, and Rosemary Butler of Pleasant Valley, Missouri; her sister, Mary Alice Chenault of Amite, Louisiana; six grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. Each of them will carry with them the memories, lessons, love, and kindness Doris shared throughout her 96 years. Her love for her family will live on through the generations to come.
Doris lived a long and meaningful life surrounded by the people and simple joys she cherished. She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever held in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to call her Mom, Grandma, sister, and friend.
Interment will be held at the Missouri Veterans Cemetery in Higginsville, Missouri, at a later date to be determined.

Margaret Kay “Margie” Hurt
December 18, 1960 – August 16, 2026
Margaret Kay “Margie” Hurt, of Centerview, Missouri, passed away on August 16, 2026, at the age of 65. Born on December 18, 1960, in Kansas City, Missouri, Margie lived a life defined by strength, independence, hard work, and an unmistakable spirit all her own.
Known affectionately as “Margie” to her family and friends, she was stubborn in the best way; strong-willed, determined, and never afraid to stand on her own two feet. She was smart, hardworking, and fiercely independent, with a heart that cared deeply for the people and things she loved.
As a young woman, Margie began her career as a model before moving into administrative assistant work. She later began working full-time at Strate's Drive-In, where she became an important part of the Strate's family. Under the ownership of her longtime friend, Linda Strate, Margie took great pride in her work and ran Strate's like it was her own diner, putting her personality, dedication, and hard work into everything she did. The friendship she shared with Linda over the years became an important part of her life.
Margie was a hippie at heart, with a deep passion for rock 'n' roll and a love for her Kansas City Chiefs. She knew how to enjoy the things that made her happy and never needed anyone else's permission to be exactly who she was.
Margie was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Rodney Hurt, and both of her parents, Donald and Joyce McCoy.
She is survived by her son, Aaron Hurt; her daughter, Nyssa Plympton; and her grandson, Asher Hurt, along with the many family members and friends whose lives she touched.
Margie was a woman of Christian faith, and her family finds comfort in knowing that she is now at peace and in the loving presence of her Lord and Savior.
Margie will be remembered for her strength, independence, intelligence, hard-working nature, and the unforgettable personality that made her who she was. She lived life on her own terms and left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her. Her absence will leave a space that can never truly be filled, but her memory will live on through the people who loved her and the countless memories she left behind.
“Always remember you are braver than you think, stronger than you seem, and loved more than you know.”
Margie was all three—and she will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and always loved.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, August 28, 2026, from 5:00pm – 7:00pm at Campbell-Cast Funeral Home 407 S. Pine St. Holden, Missouri
