Anna Gertrude Endicott

Anna Gertrude Endicott, 97, of Kearney, Mo., passed away Thursday, January 7, 2016 at Liberty Hospital.

Gertrude was born February 15, 1918 to Thomas Porter and America Allen Hendrix Porter. She was the tenth of 11 children, all of whom preceded her in death.

Gertrude married John L. Endicott on February 20, 1938 and celebrated 50 years together before his death on May 4, 1988. Gert and John lived out most of their married life raising hogs and cattle on their farm in Clay County.

Gert also had a love for flower gardening and filled her yard with a huge variety of beautiful flowers. Even though the flower beds got smaller over the last few years, she still worked in her flowers as late as last year. She was blessed to be able to stay in her home and on the farm she loved until her death. She was a member of Kearney First Baptist Church and loved being a door greeter before her legs started to weaken.

Gertrude is survived by nieces, nephews and her foster family. She was loved and will be missed, but we know she is in a much better place with our Heavenly Father.

Visitation will be from 6 to 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, January 12, 2016 at Fry-Bross & Spidle Funeral Home, Kearney, Mo. Service will be at 10 a.m., Wednesday, January 13, 2016 at the funeral home, followed by graveside service at Mt. Olivet Cemetery, Kearney.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to Kearney First Baptist Church.
