MINNIE LEE (EVANS) HATAWAY

Minnie grew up on farms in Oak Grove, MO., Columbia, MO., Bucyrus, KS., Osawatomie, KS., and finally settled in Kansas City, KS. where at an early age, she confessed her hope in Christ, was saved and was baptized at the State Avenue Baptist Church. She was an active member of the church, teaching Sunday school. It was at the church that she met her future husband, Cara Lee Hataway, who preceded her in death on December 23, 1989.

Hataway and Cara Lee Hataway, Jr. Minnie was active in their family businesses, Hataway Electric in Kansas City, MO., and their coin operated laundry business in Overland Park, KS, and Kansas City, KS. She and Pat enjoyed their many travels around the world. She was a member of the Leawood Baptist Church, Zonta International for 45 years and a past member of Milburn Country Club. She was also a past member of the Garden of the Gods Club, Colorado Springs, CO. where she joyfully entertained the grandchildren in the 1970s while their grandfather played golf at The Broadmoor.
Minnie was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her son, James D. Hataway, her daughter- in-law, Marilyn Holt Hataway and her brother, Thomas Evans.
