It’s with sad and heavy, yet faithful and believing hearts that we share the news that Roseann Eaton Mazur passed away on Wednesday, June 8, 2022 at the age of 62, as sirens trumpeted and bolts of lightning announced her departure (as a tornado blew through town).  Roseann was born in Independence, Kansas and lived the majority of her life in Kansas City, Missouri; she attended Boone Elementary School, Center South Junior High and Center High School, graduating with the Class of 1979.  Roseann loved acting and drama, was active with Camelot Academy, Drama Club, aka “Players 58”, as well as paint crews supporting the drama department at CHS.  Roseann attended Avila College and participated in its theater department.  Roseann worked at various insurance companies and spent the last 25 years as a devoted and committed CSR with Quest Diagnostics (f/k/a LabOne) where she loved developing telephone-friendships with those who called in (and often times exceeded the standard time allotted for those calls).  Roseann loved The Sound of Music and hopes that she’ll be remembered whenever her family and friends watches it.  She was a lover pets, hugs (both giving and receiving them), reading, writing poetry, Precious Moments, journaling, and life.  She loved her family and loved every opportunity love on them. 

She started writing poetry at a young age and was blessed with the gift of sweet and faithful sentiments in her prose, even sending her poems to various publications for consideration in magazines.  Roseann possessed a beautiful soul and was quick to give a smile, a gentle word of encouragement, with a contagiously positive attitude who gave her love freely to those in her world.  Those who knew her would say her view on people and life was that of love and grace, as that was her gift to all whose lives she touched.  As one friend shared, she was a light in the world that shone just a little brighter than others – and her light will continue to be an inspiration.

Roseann loved her Church Family at Colonial Presbyterian Church, having served as a volunteer with its various outreach opportunities and ministries.  She loved her faith and lived by the “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” verse in a way that continues to be an inspiration.  She leaves behind her loving husband Martin, a large collection of family, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Please consider joining us on Sunday, June 26^th at 2:00 at Colonial Presbyterian Church, 95^th & Wornall Road, as we gather to honor, celebrate and remember Roseann.
