Gary Shearholdt
Gary Keith Shearholdt, 56 of Springfield, passed away Friday March 4, 2011 after a long, courageous battle with cancer.
Gary was born on June 13, 1954, the son of Robert L. and Dora Murlene (Minson) Shearholdt. He graduated from Central High School in 1972, and began a long career in land surveying, having attained the title, Missouri Registered Land Surveyor on August 31, 1988. For the last 16 years he was employed by City Utilities, spending most of that time in Electric Operations as a Senior Engineering Tech.
Gary was preceded in death by his father, Robert, and his brother-in-law, John Dameron.
He is survived by his wife of 25 years, Mary, of the home; his mother, Murlene of Springfield; his brother, Larry of Kansas City; his aunts, Gladene Hoit of Tulsa, Mary Caffey of Lebanon, Mo., and Sammie Anderson, California; his nieces, Christine Hanvey and husband, Joe of Alpharetta, Georgia, Jennifer Chase of Wentzville, and Cassandra Shearholdt of Kansas City; great nieces, Aiyana Chase, Georgia Hanvey and great nephew, Nick Hanvey; several cousins and many friends.
Mary would like to thank City Utilities Electric Operations and the Greene County Public Administrators office for their love and support. Also the compassionate professionals on Cox South 5 West, and William Cunningham, M.D., the staff of Oncology Hematology Associates and the Wheeler Ambulatory Infusion Center for not only giving Gary more days in his life, but more life in his days.
Funeral services will be at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday March 9, 2011 in Herman H. Lohmeyer Chapel 500 E. Walnut Street with Chaplain Larry Cooper and Rev. Paul Coltharp officiating. Interment services will be in Mt. Olivet Cemetery St. Joseph, Missouri. All services have been entrusted to the care of Herman H. Lohmeyer Funeral Home.
Visitation will be from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the funeral home.
Because of Gary's love for cats and his desire to rescue as many as possible, the family suggest memorial contributions to the C.A.R.E. Animal Rescue P.O. Box 215 Aurora, MO 65605.
