RD Mize Rd, Independence, MO 64057. Temily was a determined and compassionate woman. Born in Perth, Western Australia on February 16, 1990, she lived in cities on two continents and built a wide circle of friends. In her teen years she excelled at tae kwon do, competing nationally in the USA. She spent many years instructing children in the sport, helping them build confidence and self-discipline. She followed her passion of helping children into the teaching profession, graduating from Graceland University with honors (Cum Laude). She had recently begun a career in the Independence School District at the Independence Academy. Her son Kale was the center of her life. She excelled as a mother to him. Her care, love and commitment to him were unparalleled. She was a devoted and passionate parent. The sudden and unintentional death of Temily is a terrible loss to us all.
