Bernice Orita Powell Kirkman
Orita Kirkman, 73, of Olathe, Ks, passed away on Monday, August 1, 2016 at Overland Park Regional Center. A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, August 6th, at 2:00 pm at the Olathe Chapel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 15915 W. 143rd St. All are invited to attend.
Orita was born in Kansas City, Missouri to Paul and Bernice Powell. She grew up as an only child in Grain Valley, Missouri on the family farm, where she grew to love flowers and animals.
Orita was known for her spunky, caring personality, her devotion to her family, passion for genealogy, and her love for the United States. She could talk to anyone and would care for those in need. Her grandsons’ friends always knew that they had a place to stay and plenty to eat. Her daughters have fond memories of laughing with her, and baking cookies for friends at Christmas. She lived to dote on her six children, seven grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Orita had a talent for genealogy and helped so many people find their ancestors. She has left a legacy of family history. As a patriot, she sent care packages and letters to the troops overseas. She was a member of the Olathe Chapter of the Daughters of American Revolution and enjoyed being a member of the prestigious organization.
We know she is happy to return to the presence of her Heavenly Father and to be reunited with her family. She was preceded in death by her parents, her first husband, Mike Hunt, her father-in-law, Larry Kirkman, and her daughter -in -law, Heather Jeffers.
Orita loved flowers and said, “Buy flowers for your home, and think of me.”
