Mary was one of nine children of Thomas Arthur and Katy Mae (Behringer) Johnson and is survived by her two children, Larry Seward and Kathryn Miller; four grandchildren, Jessica Tan, Dawn and Ian Seward and Michael Miller; and three great-grandchildren, Kallen and Kathryn Miller and Colin Tan.  She also leaves one sister, Dorothy Klamm of Basehor, Kansas and one sister-in-law, Alice Johnson of Lenexa, Kansas.  She was loved by her many nieces and nephews. 

 

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Shepherd’s Center of KC Central, 5200 Oak Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64112 or the Hillcrest Christian Church, 11411 Quivira Road, Overland Park, Kansas 66210.
