Kathleen Ann Kuppinger

November 9th, 1952-November 12th, 2020

Kathleen Ann Kuppinger, formerly of Crocker, 68, of Missouri, joined our Savior Jesus Christ and her husband Hershel K. Kuppinger on November 12th, 2020. The daughter of Severt Demetrius Duffield and Betty Lou (Strike) Duffield, she is survived by Richard K. & Ashli Kuppinger, Armando K. Velasquez & Isaura Ramirez, Phillip K. & Stephanie Kuppinger, and Berniece Kuppinger.

Kathleen was born in Portland, Oregon and spent her childhood in Sherwood, Oregon. She was never afraid of taking on a new challenge, and spent her time as a beautician, a substitute teacher, and a volunteer. After her husband retired from an Army career, she studied and graduated from Drury University and worked with local schools. She had a love for crafts, sewing, painting, animals, and spending time with her grandchildren who meant the world to her.

Always optimistic, and never shy of making a new friend, she faced adversity with a positive outlook and always put her care in God’s hand.

Services will be held at gravesite at the Missouri Veterans Cemetery in Higginsville, Missouri on December 4th, 2020 at 10:00am.

    I am so sorry for your loss. Kathy was a friend and beloved member of Mission Woods Community of Christ, Blue Springs. We miss her very much. She had a positive influence on everyone she interacted with and was so giving in many areas of church outreach and in the community. Your family is in my prayers.

    Kathy was a good friend. I enjoyed her stories very much. We went together every Tuesday afternoon to share in the Boys and Girls Club at Hawthorne in Independence, MO. This was through Community of Christ J.A.M. ministries. I miss her too.

    I am sorry for your lose of a loved one. It hurts. Over time the pain will heal somewhat leaving you room to remember the good times you shared. The good news for Kathy now is that she is free of bodily pain. No more pain. How beautiful is that?
