Rosalie M. Minor

Rosalie Maye Minor, a cherished member of the Kansas City community, passed away on March 30th, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love, service, and dedication. Rosalie was born on October 3, 1938 in Lenexa, Kansas to parents, Walter and Helen Powell. After high school, she continued her education for a short time and spent a number of years living in Massachusetts before returning back to her roots in the Kansas City area.

Beyond her career, she devoted herself to her faith and community, actively participating in her church and her beloved sorority, Beta Sigma Phi. Rosalie's commitment to philanthropy touched countless lives, leaving an indelible mark of compassion and generosity. In her spare time she enjoyed watching and attending sporting events in which her unwavering passion and enthusiasm for KC Royals baseball, Sporting KC soccer, and the Kansas City Chiefs, brought joy to those around her.

Rosalie was preceded in death by her beloved husband, James Minor, but she leaves behind a vast family of relatives and friends who will forever cherish her memory. Her warmth, kindness, and infectious spirit will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

In honoring Rosalie's legacy, let us carry forward her passion for sports, her dedication to environmental advocacy, and her unwavering commitment to serving others.
