Dorothy was born February 2nd, 1932, in Worland, Missouri to Thomas Seth Arnold and Velda (Peacock) Arnold. She grew up and lived in the small rural communities of Hume and Foster, Missouri before moving to Kansas City in the early 1950’s.
In 1975, after marrying the love of her life, Ralph, she became an avid Model A’er and belonged to the Heart of America Model A Ford Club. Dorothy and Ralph spent most of their time with their Model A family enjoying activities, tours and the Model A Regional trips. They put many happy miles on their Model A Ford, even when the unexpected breakdowns would occur, you could always count on the “A” family to get you going again.
Dorothy loved collecting stuffed bears, watching the Hallmark Channel, and listening to George Strait on YouTube. She was finally able to see George Strait in concert in Feb 2012, as a surprise birthday gift from her family, which brought her tears of joy.
Dorothy loved her family immensely. She always looked forward to family gatherings which supplied good food, lots of craziness and laughter.
Survivors include 3 daughters, Judith Ann Haag (Jim) of Kansas City, Janice Lea Stoor (David) of Lee’s Summit, Dale LeAnn Callahan (Trent) of Mayview. 4 grandchildren, Kevin Rhule (Barbie) of Warsaw, Darrin Willoughby of Kansas City, Chad Willoughby of Raytown, and Jessica Callahan of Grain Valley. 5 great-grandchildren, 4 great-great-grandchildren, and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Lloyd Ralph Haggard, mother Velda Finwick, father Thomas Seth Arnold, 2 sisters, Sarah Lounsbury, Sharon Landon and a great-grandson, Cameron Rice.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Dorothy Haggard’s name, to the local Disabled American Veterans Chapter 2, 14605 E. 40 Hwy, Kansas City, MO 64136. There will also be a donation box available at the funeral home.

It was a pleasure to know you. I will always remember all of the great time we had with the Model A family. Enjoy your reunion with them all.
I will miss her she was a good friend to me. She loved to go to the movies with Ron and I.
Rest In Peace Aunt Dorothy
Sending prays to your beautiful family.
Looks like she lived a full. My Step Dad Jim Bowes was in the Model A club they may have known each other. He is gone too.
Sending heart felt hugs and prayers… I was blessed to have worked with your mother and to get to know her. She was such a sweet person.
