Aileen was born October 14, 1923 to Clarence A. and Lavena Pearl (Allen) White at the home of her grandparents, Benjamin Franklin and Laura (Bigham) Allen on the Palmer Place Farm in Platte County, Missouri. As a small child, her parents moved to Kansas City, MO. She attended Fairmount and Mt. Washington Elementary Schools and graduated from Northeast High School. During her lifetime she was employed at Hallmark Cards; Waddell and Reed; Trinity Hospital Anesthesiologist Group; and the Engineering Department of Jackson County, MO.
She was a devoted wife, and loving mother, and grandmother. Aileen was the “Martha Stewart” of her era. Her dinner parties were planned in great detail and the table was set for fine dining. She enjoyed entertaining, cooking, and keeping an immaculate, well organized home. Sewing, crocheting, embroidery, quilting, decorative painting, scherenschnitte, reading and canning food were a few of her hobbies. She loved to dance with her husband, Raymond, the love of her life. Her family and especially her granddaughters filled her heart with pure joy. She was a member of Trinity Episcopal Church and its Altar Guild, P.T.A., Beta Sigma Phi, Wm Chrisman Sports Booster Club, and the Jackson County Democrat Club.
Aileen was preceded in death by her husband, Raymond C. Koehly; parents, Clarence A. White and L. Pearl (Allen) Reeder; and stepfather, Lynn J. Reeder.
She is survived by her only child, Lavena Rae Davis and her husband John of Independence; two granddaughters, Kaley Onna Hilmes and her husband Michael of St. Louis and Kara Odette Nolan and her husband Eric of Lee’s Summit; four precious great grandsons, Christian, Aidan, Collin and Conor; and two half sisters, Joann Hollaman of Independence; and Lynnda Sause of North Kansas City.
