Kathryn Elizabeth Estle

Kathryn Elizabeth Estle, affectionately known as Kathy, passed away on July 29, 202, in Blue Springs, Missouri. She was born on November 11, 1946, in Kansas City, Missouri, to her loving parents Thomas John Cole and Donna Jean (Spuhel) Cole. 

Kathy led a fulfilling life, leaving behind a legacy of warmth and love. After obtaining her GED, she worked as a casino card inspector on the line for Gemaco in Blue Springs until her well-deserved retirement in 2009. Her dedication and professionalism were truly commendable throughout her career. 

In her leisure time, Kathy indulged in various hobbies and interests that brought her immense joy. She liked shopping in Branson, Missouri, discovering new eateries, and listening to the timeless music of Elvis Presley. Her admiration for Elvis was so profound that she never missed a performance by her friend and talented Elvis impersonator, Bobby Simpson. 

Above all else, Kathy cherished spending time with her family, particularly her beloved grandkids. After marrying the love of her life, Tommy Estle, in 1965, Kathy devoted her time to being a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. The bond she shared with Tommy was a shining example of enduring love and partnership. Together, they raised three wonderful sons, Shaun Michael Estle, Greg Andrew Estle, and Patrick Wayne Estle. The love and memories shared with them will forever hold a special place in their hearts. 

Kathy leaves behind a grieving family and friends, including her devoted husband, Tommy Wayne Estle; sons, Shaun, Greg and Patrick; along with fond memories that will be cherished for generations to come. 

May Kathy's vibrant spirit and loving nature continue to inspire all those who had the privilege of knowing this remarkable woman. She will be deeply missed but always remembered with love and affection. Rest in peace, dear Kathy.
