Mattie Belle Weiss

Our beloved mother and grandmother, Mattie Weiss, went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on June 4, 2015. Visitation will be Monday, June 8th from 6 to 8pm at McGilley & Sheil Capel, 11924 E. 47th St., KCMO. Services will be Tuesday, June 9th at 11am with burial at Floral Hills in Raytown.

Mattie was born on October 22, 1925, in Blackwater, Missouri, to Elmer and Frances Schuster, the Ninth of Fifteen children. She is survived by her four children, Daniel (Brenda) Weiss; Donna (Lynn) Kinder, Vickie (Jan) Sullivan and Mark (Cindy) Weiss; 10 grandchildren, Robert Kinder, Chris Weiss, Kathleen Seever, Mike Weiss, Matt Weiss, Pamela Wood, Jenny Latta, Cheryl Sutton, Kelly Sullivan and Stephanie Migletz; 25 great grandchildren; 8 great-great grandchildren, 3 sisters, Mary Kirby Crawford, Edna Epperson, Dorothy Schuster; a brother, Kenny Schuster and sister-in-law, Mary Belle Weiss. She was preceded in death by her husband of 68 years, Donald; a grandson, Billy; her parents and several siblings.

After graduating from Marshall High School in 1944, she moved to the big city and worked as a typist at the DOD during WWII. She returned to the work force in 1966 as a medical secretary at St. Mary’s Hospital. In 1967 she moved on to work for Dr. Desmond & Dr. Terrance Curran for 30 years before she retired to share days with her many friends from Belmont, Ridgeview and Blue Ridge Christian churches.

Her hobbies were watching her beloved Kansas City Royals and baking her special homemade pies, cookies and her specialty, German Chocolate Cake.

Mattie will be dearly missed by many. Her family wishes to thank Dr. Scott Bowlin for his care throughout the years; to the Groves, and their hospice who made her final months so peaceful. Online condolences to www.mcgilleysheil.com. Arr: McGilley & Seil Chapel, 816-353-6555.
