CYNTHIA JO BREGEL

87, died comfortably in her own bed at home on Saturday, August 28th, 2021 in South Kansas City, MO. A private family burial will be later at The Missouri State Veteran's Cemetery in Higginsville. Instead of flowers, the Bregels suggest memorial donations be made in her name to Wayside Waifs, the KC CARE Health Center or to any other charity of your choice.

 

Cynthia was born September 27th, 1933 to Harold and Effie (Flagstad) Elwell in Minneapolis, MN. She was raised there while enjoying her summers with extended family at their cottage on the East Shore of Pickerel Lake in South Dakota. After graduating from the University of Minnesota, she married her brother's best friend, George E Bregel and raised three children in Kansas City, MO. Her creativity was utilized in various positions through the years from teaching at the Marlborough Community Center to retiring from Hallmark Cards. She was a class act and a great conversationalist that loved cookies and socializing with her many friends. Should've figured - her kids will really miss all of her long stories!

 

She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother George and her husband George. Cynthia (Cy) will be greatly missed by her daughters, Jane Anne and Amy Jo Bregel of KC, MO, her son and daughter-in-law, Thomas George and Kelley E (Attebery) Bregel of Lees Summit, MO, her grandson, Christopher Thomas Bregel of New York, NY and many other dear friends and relatives.
