Obituary & Other Vital Info

  • Dove Ann Gregory was the daughter of: Frank A. Gregory and Mary Dove Epperson.1
  • An Obituary for Dove Ann Gregory appeared on Wednesday, 26 Dec 2012, in The Kansas City Star, Kansas City, Missouri. Dove Ann Gregory Rittman of Excelsior Springs Missouri

    Our loving Dove Ann passed away Monday, December 24, 2012 peacefully at home after a valiant battle with cancer. She was a wonderful daughter, sister, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was born to Mary Dove (Epperson) Gregory and Frank A. Gregory on January 19, 1939 in St. Joseph MO. She was preceded in death by her grandmother (Granny) Dove Monette (Sherman) Epperson, her parents, her brother Robert Howard Gregory, her sisters-in-law Elizabeth (Howe) Gregory and Anne (Hunter) Alberts.

    She is survived by her long-time friend and companion, Junior Onwiler; brother, Larry F. Gregory; daughter, Robin Dove Martin (Scott); son, Donald Paul Rittman (Denniely); grandchildren, Braden A. Martin, Sarah C.D. Taylor, Zacc G. Rittman, Anna Gabriella Rittman; great-grandchildren, Kylee Dixon, Kaden Taylor, Breanna Russell, Bailey Martin and niece Dove Marie Downer. She loved spending time with her family and friends.

    Dove Ann graduated from Central High School in St. Joseph MO in 1957 and from St. Luke's School of Nursing in Kansas City MO in 1960. After marriage also in 1960 and starting a family, she started her career as a Registered Nurse in the Medical Department of Hallmark Cards Inc., where she was known as Nurse Ann for more than 30 years; retiring in January 1999. She later worked part time for the Clay County Health Department and as a Shared Solutions Copaxone Injection training nurse.

    Her faith and church were important to her from the time she attended First Christian Church in St. Joseph, MO, as a child to most recently attending Salem Christian Union Church in Excelsior Springs, MO. She loved it when her children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren would attend with her. She also loved hearing Pastor Phil Dillon's sermons and singing with his wife Patsy Dillon.

    Arr: Bross & Spidle Funeral Home, 217 W. Broadway, Excelsior Springs, MO 64024 816-630-3131.
