Mamie Anna Tubbesing Wales, daughter of William and Lizzie Tubbesing, was born 
January 5, 1905, in Jefferson County, near Cedar Hill, MO. She moved with her 
parents to Henry County in 1907. She received her elementary education at Comer 
School and was a member of the first graduating class of Shawnee Mound High 
School in 1923. Her life, until that time, was spent on a farm near Quarles. After 
graduation, she attended one semester of college at Warrensburg, and then sought 
employment in Kansas City, where she lived and was employed until her 
retirement from the Bendix Corporation in January 1973. Her husband, Kermit C. 
Wales, to who she was married February 19, 1954, preceded her in death on April

of others. A tireless worker, she was proud of her home and kept it immaculate. 
She was a member of the Bethany Memorial Baptist Church in Kansas City at the 
time of her death. She served as a Sunday School teacher and youth leader for 
many years, instilling her love for God and humanity in the hearts of the young 
people under her leadership. Many poems, scriptures and other items of 
inspiration were found among her personal possessions, testifying to her concern 
about spiritual values. She is survived by a brother and six sisters: Fred, Huldah 
and Margaret of Clinton; Viola of Kimberling City, MO; Pat, Seattle, WA; Mary, 
Yucca Valley, CA; and Laura of Leeton; a step-daughter, Mrs. Peggy Tharp of
