Kathleen was born in Kansas City, Kansas on October 19, 1930 to Cecil and Tina Cox. She grew up in South Park (Merriam) and graduated from Shawnee Mission High School.
After graduation she married the love of her life Robert (Bob) Mealman. They were married for 69 years and built a beautiful family and life together. They settled in Roeland Park, KS then moved to Overland Park, KS, where she lived until her passing. Kathleen worked for General Electric for seven years during her younger days. Kathleen then had many jobs during her long life including wife, mother, grandmother and becoming one of the faces of Andersen-Erickson dairy, where she did food demonstrations for the last 35 years of her life.
The pride of her life were her two daughters Linda and Lisa and her four precious grandchildren. She enjoyed entertaining and always was whipping up something delicious in her kitchen for her loved ones. She led a very full life and enjoyed traveling with her husband, daughters and grandchildren. Las Vegas and Hawaii were her favorite places where she traveled many times and made wonderful memories. She so enjoyed watching her grandchildren’s activities and spending time with them. She will be dearly missed by her daughters and son in laws; Linda and Robert Hughes, Lisa and Dan Faubion, and her four adoring grandkids; Justin (Wendy) Hughes, Jordan Hughes, Katelyn Faubion and Kelsey Faubion. She is survived by her brother, Kenny Cox and many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents, brother Stanley Cox and husband Robert L Mealman. Kathleen had many friends and never met a stranger. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Mark and I were so privileged to be in the neighborhood and street that Kathy and Bob lived on. They were the most gracious two people you would ever meet. She meant a lot to our children Matthew Marie and Steven . She will be sadly missed and we loved her. Please accept our deepest condolences.
Kathy and Bob have been a huge part of my life and the life of my children over the last many years. There has not been a family get together that they were not a part of in 25 years or more. She was a dear lady who was always happy and smiling. I always enjoyed her conversations and the way that she showed her love for everyone. She will be so missed but I know she is back with the love of her life. She couldn’t stay away from him for very long. Kathy and Bob were together for 65 years and she could not stand being without him. She will be missed and fondly remembered by so many people. She had a positive impact on everyone she met. So sorry for your loss Lisa and Linda Danny and Robert Justin Jordy Katelyn and Kelsey. I know the new baby coming in the spring will help to cheer you up and know that kathy will be right there when that new baby is born
