Betty B. Fivecoat, December 21, 1924-February 23, 2007
Betty B. Fivecoat, 82, of Crosslines Retirement Center in Kansas City, Kansas passed away on Friday, February 23 at Providence Medical Center.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, February 27 at Maple Hill Funeral Home, 3300 Shawnee Drive KCK. Visitation will be held at the funeral home from
6-8 p.m. on Monday, February 26. Burial Ft. Leavenworth National Cemetery, Fort Leavenworth, KS. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions in her name to the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City, 5445 Parallel Parkway, Kansas City, KS 66104 or Immanuel Lutheran Church, 3232 Metropolitan Kansas City, KS 66106, where she was a member.
Betty was born on December 21, 1924 in Chicago, Illinois to Frank and Mildred Wagner. After only six weeks of dating on April 12, 1945, she married Frank Fivecoat, an Army sergeant, before he returned to his post in Alaska. Their marriage lasted 36 years before he passed away in 1981.
In 1980, Betty co-founded Sara N. Dipity Country Store, with her daughter, Linda. It was one of the first craft consignment shops in the Kansas City area. She later worked in Kerri’s business, Sunflower Sue’s Krafts. Betty retired from Treasury Drug in Shawnee, Kansas in 1995.
Betty is being greeted in heaven by her parents; her husband; her son, Steven; her brother, Frank (Bud) Wagner; her Maltese Muffin, Baby and Tinker; her extended family of grandparents, aunts and cousins and all of her good friends from Turner who she referred to as “the old gang.”
She is survived by daughters and sons-in-law Linda and Steve Bakken, Melbourne, FL; Kerri and Dale Campbell, Kansas City, KS; daughter Janet Fivecoat, Sioux Falls, SD; sister-in-law Kathy Munsell, Yellville, AR; five grandsons, Keith Boyd, Kirk Campainha, Steven “Shane” Bakken, Kory Bakken and Shawn Boyd; two exchange granddaughters, Stephanie Poerschmann and Meg-Ann Joss-Barwick; five great-grandchildren; cousins; her friends at Crosslines Retirement Center and Kerri’s dogs, who she called her ‘grand-doggies.’
We would like to thank Mom’s doctors and the nurses at Providence Medical Center for your compassionate care, especially Dr. Appl, Joan and Dr. Rodriguez.
My mom and I never left each other or hung up the phone without saying, “I love you.”
Mom, you know I always will.

Kerri - sending lots of good thoughts and cyber-hugs to you. The loving care you've given your mom during this time - allowing her to pass from this world to the next with grace and dignity - is an inspiration for us all. Many blessings to you.
