Dolores Howard List

Virginia Dolores List, 82, of Leavenworth, passed peacefully into her eternal rest Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2016, surrounded by her family. She was born Sept. 7, 1933, in Maryville, Mo., the daughter of Earl and Helen (Walsh) Howard.
She attended a one-room elementary school and graduated from Horace Mann High School, Maryville.
On May 28, 1955, Dolores married Aloysius George List (LHS Class of 1953) at St. Joseph Catholic Church, Leavenworth. He survives of the home. Dolores is also survived by her children, Marla (Mark) Lybrand, Chris (Theresa) List, and Suzanne (Charles) Morris; seven grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; her sister, Nancy (Mike) Muessig-O'Connor (LHS Class of 1958); and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her son Aloysius Mark List, her parents, her sisters Mary Ellen Junk and Dorothy Malchow, her brothers, Paul Howard, Raymond Howard, Arthur Howard, Kenneth Howard, and Ronald Howard (LHS Class of 1954).
She was a homemaker and a retired travel agent with Leavenworth Travel. Dolores was an avid Royals, Chiefs and KU basketball fan. However, nothing gave her more joy than cheering on her children and grandchildren in their sporting events. She was a member of the St. Joseph Church Choir and Sweet Adelines. She enjoyed singing at family weddings, the Saint John's Follies and her brother Raymond's country music show in Atchison. Dolores' legacy is the strong Catholic faith, family traditions and values and her consistent and unconditional love she passed on to her family.
