     Marion Harding Marion Harding, 95, of Gladstone, Missouri passed away at home on September 7, 2017 surrounded by his loving family. Marion was born on September 11, 1921 to John M. & Mary Agnes (Memke) Harding. Marion met the love of his life, Velma Bowdre in 1940. One day, Marion came to Kansas City to pick his friend up for a baseball game. When he went into the house, he saw the prettiest girl he had ever seen standing in the kitchen washing dishes. Instead of going to the baseball game, he picked up a towel and started drying the dishes. He spent the next long six months pleading for a date before Velma’s best friend, Frances, convinced her to go to the theatre with him. Not long after, on the 22nd of July 1940, Marion and Velma were married. Together, Marion and Velma had 5 children whom they raised in Kansas City, Kansas. In the early 90s, Velma and Marion moved to Gladstone, Missouri. Marion was a charter member and deacon for many years at the Oak Grove Christian Church in Kansas City. Kansas when it was founded in 1969. Every Sunday, you could see Marion at church, greeting visitors with a smile and handing out bulletins. He even transported all of their grandchildren to church in what they affectionately called “the Church Limo.” Marion had a green thumb and loved tending his garden- he grew beautiful flowers! He also loved to go bowling with Velma. Marion also believed in loving your neighbor as yourself- he would help anyone and everyone who asked with whatever he could do. You could always count on him! Even when he was in his 80’s he could be seen in the neighborhood- picking up newspapers for his “older neighbors” who had trouble getting them. Marion was preceded in death by his parents, all of his siblings, and one son, Crist Harding. He leaves to cherish his memory his four loving children: Pat (Tim) Rhoades, Joyce (Tom) Janssen, Sandy (Roy) Clogston, and Keith Harding. Also, his daughter-in-law, Sheila; 16 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren, and 5 great-great-grandchildren. He was greatly loved and will be dearly missed.6 He was buried at Highland Park Cemetery, Kansas City, Wyandotte Co., Kansas.4 He was born on September 11, 1921 at Oak Mills, Atchison Co., Kansas.1,6,5 He married Velma Grace Bowdre on July 22, 1940.6,7 Marion Harding died on September 7, 2017 at Gladstone, Clay Co., Missouri, at age 95.6
