Survivors: daughters, Susan (Maurice) Bois of Benson, AZ and Shirley (Randy) Moon of Wichita; son, Michael (Janet) Clark of Wichita; 11 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren. Mickey was born July 28, 1920 in Newton, KS and graduated from Mt. Carmel Academy in 1938. She married Tom, April 28, 1942, shortly before he went to serve in Alaska during WWII. During the war, Mickey worked as a draftsman at Boeing, Wichita. After the war, they started a family and she found the ultimate joy in being a full-time, stay-at-home mom. She participated in just about any activity she could involving her children and her church. A brownie, girl and cub scout leader, parish choir member and altar society were just a few of her activities while raising her children, as she showed all the love and affection any person could possibly give. When her children were grown she cherished the moments she could spend with her grandchildren, showing them, as well, the love and caring only grandmothers can. We will miss her, and give thanks to the Lord for the wonderful times we had with her, the values she bestowed upon us, and the selfless love she gave just doing her job as MOM.
