As we were developing CinemaKC from an idea into reality almost 10 years ago, we were fortunate that Vicky agreed to serve with us on our initial Board of Directors.
She was instrumental in establishing operational guidelines, setting up our office, developing our mission statement and bylaws; you name it, she was working on it!
Her energy and enthusiasm and knowledge were exceeded only by her superb work ethics.
She was a terrific person. We’ll miss her.
From all of us at CinemaKC, we mourn the loss of our former board member, Vicky Bates. Vicky served for several years as a key member of our organization and was a pioneering spirit.
We would love to hear any of your special memories of Vicky.
We are sad to announce that on February 27, 2020 we had to say goodbye to Victoria Ann Bates (Warsaw, Missouri). You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family at the link above. You may also light a candle in honor of Victoria Ann Bates.
She was loved and cherished by many people including : her mother Evelyn; her husband Bob Bates; her children, Michael Herman, Michele Burch, Rachel Herman, Mark McClendon and Bobby Bates; her grandchildren, Isis Aldana, Allison Aldana, Joshua Aldana, Emory McClendon, Chloe McClendon, Hailey Bates, Robby Bates and Jason Bates; and her siblings, Amy Timbes, Sylvia Terry, Marlisa VanKemseke and Amiel VanKemseke. She was also cherished by seven great-grandchildren.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, March 14th 2020 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the Signature Funerals (406 Bannister Rd, Kansas City, MO 64131).
In lieu of flowers, the family prefers donations be made in Vicky’s memory to Pancreatic Cancer Action Network http://www.pancan.org or Benton County Hospice http://www.bentonhealth.org.
