To the Amick's,, my heartfelt prayers go out to you and your family. Cissy was an important part of my growing up and spending time in west Texas. She was a wonderful woman, and I know my grandfather loved her dearly. God Bless all of you.

Our memories of Cissy and her family are on 59terr. when they were our neighbors, sharing the busy lives of school days with our children.  It was wonderful to know her, such a warm and caring friend.  She will live in my heart & all who knew her.

Lon, Eugene, Alice, Ann and John: Your mother was a very special lady.  Always one to admire.  I have such fond thoughts of her.  She treated me like family from the time I first met your family and made me feel so comfortable when Jeff and I were dating and after we got married.  My sincere condolences to each of you.  I know she'll be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you.

I will always cherish Cissy as a beloved friend to my dear Gram, role model my mom (who babysat for the Amicks) and am grateful to know her wonderful family for many, many years.  Cissy embodied all that is generous, welcoming, and fun about the citizens of greater Kansas City.  My thoughts are with you.

Very sorry to hear about Cissy, I always enjoyed visits with her and the music in her voice brought everything she spoke of to life. There are many happy memories of the Amick household, filled with love, interesting stories, and beautiful, fun people.

Cissy and Lon were our parents best friends and were just married when they all met. The three children in our family were almost old enough to babysit the beautiful Amick kids and we spent countless hours, days, overnights in Prairie Village and later in Brookside with the Amicks. Cissy loved being in the middle of the muddle - kids, chaos, love, fun and more fun. But what I remember most was the respect both she and Lon had for children as people...their fascination with the unfolding character in each of their children and in us, too. Cissy will always be in my heart very near my own Mom. We send sympathy and joy for having known her.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing  of Naomi. I can remember being at her house by Loose Park,  when I was a child in the late 1950's. She was always very kind to me and a great mother to her children. I know she will be missed by many. I will pray for Naomi and all her family.

I will always appreciate Cissy's willingness to help with the babysitting of my (then kindergarten age) daughter, during one of my father's long hospital says.

Gene,Alice and Ann  My thoughts are with you.  My mother passed away a year ago on Thanksgiving.

I will miss my wonderful sister, cissy.
I am the youngest of the five children of Howard and Nadine Campbell, and am the only remaining member of 'the clan'.
Cis and I had three brother's, Howard E.campbell, jr. William Roscoe Campbell and Thomas Edward Campbell. Together we all survived the depression as well as we survived having our two oldest brother's that were in World War 11.  Brother Tom was to young for that war but did serve in the navy after the war.  
My folks were wonderful parents. They were hard working,clean living people who worked hard to take care of our large family.  Our home was always open and welcome to any and all and love spread through our entire family.
Sister Cissie took everything she learned from my parent's and applied all those years of learning into raising her own family. Cissie, like our mother was first and foremost a mother and treasured her children. Her family alway's came first.  When her husband, Lon Amick died in 1972 she knew she had lost her world and had a difficult time recuperating from that loss.  He children were always most supporting of her and helped her through that difficult time.  
Cissie was probably the most 'gacious' lady I will ever know.  Losing Lon and having five children to take care of was a very difficult time for her.  They were her first and only concern. It was difficult for her to begin to 'move forward', but forward she did go.  Her family were everthing to her and she had no desire to socialize for quite a while.  Some dear friends of her insisted taking her to a dinner party for an organization called, The Military Order Of The World War's! She was quite hesitant to go, but our strong, dear mother knew that she had to get out and be around people to  begin to get herself somewhat healed. She fianlly accepted her friends invitation, and as fate would have it, she met her 'future husband' at that dinner.  Albert Ray Brownfield was speaking at that dinner and he came over to their table to say hello to the friends of Cissie's that had her go to that dinner. Brownie had recently lost his wife about two months earlier.  Cissie was quite 'timid' still and as she always did, was her sweet, charming lady. That was the beginning of she and Brownie's romance.  And a beautiful Romance it was.  The Lord had to have certainly 'mapped' it out.  He was quite taken with her immediately. It took her much more time.  She liked him very much, but she wasn't ready to have any kind of relationship because she was still trying to raise a family, and adjust to life without Lon.She was flattered that he was such a gentleman and by the end of the evening, I believe Brownie was 'in love' with Cissie.  She was so very hesitant and wasn't ready for anything kind of relationship at that point.
However, Brownie was quite insistant and kept in touch with her for a long time before she finally realized that she was going to have to get her life back in order.  It was a difficult thing for her to do, because her children were her top priority.  But my wise, dear mother went out to see her one day and gave her the 'pep talk"
she needed to hear, so she went out with the General.  Brownie was quite insistant about strating a relationship and he finally, with phone calls, flower's and letter's convinced her to go out with him. He was about to retire from the Military and was getting ready for retirement and go  back to his hometown in Texas.
He must have done some fancy talking, because before any of us knew it, he was back in town to see her again. Thanks to Mom's support, Cissie finally relalized that she had to start a new life. She also  realized that this gentleman was never going to let up and so with the nudging and help of Mom and me, her sister, she decided to relax and see how things went.  They married in 1974 and moved back to Texas eventually. It was a beautiful romance and they were crazy about each other.  She worried so about leaving her children here in KC, but again, with the help of our Mom Cissie realized that she did need to get on with her life. She still worried about her kid's of course, however they were all pretty much grownup and almost through college and getting ready to start their own lives. She finally knew that she loved this man and her children all supported her relationship. They got married and Brownie bought a lovely Condo for Cissie to come home to to be with her children whenever she wanted. It was in Liberty, Mo. where she was used to living and she always had a place to come home to and still be closely connected to her family, who were the world to her.  Cissie and Brownie were married for 34 year's, and she was (as she told me) "his sweet yellow  rose of  texas". It was a beautiful marriage and she has been living up here in Liberty for the past three years.  She had been so ill for so long.  I hate to have to be the 'last of the Campbell Clan", but Iknow she is in a better place, back with Brownie and is at peace. She was a beautiful lady, a Godly lady and a wonderful mother and sister.  Rest I Peace sweet girl.  Sister, Donna

To a wonderful lady that I had the pleasure of taking care of she was like a mother to me . For  the last 21/2 years  it been a joy to be with her, never seemed like a job.   She has wonderful  and beautiful children and family that cared about her. I will truly missed her Thx to her and her family for everything they have done for me.god bless.

We are sorry to lose Cissy next door to my mother, Mary Pogson, Just two weeks ago, they had a good visit. Cissy was still so hospitable even though she was not feeling well. My mom says that "Cissy had the sweetest face and smile" and that she will really miss her.

Mom wrote this about her name Cissy: Her brother had trouble saying her name and she became Sissy, but here is the rest of the story from her own letter to posterity: 

My dad wanted to name me Virginia Lee after his mother- and Mother wanted to name me Ella Mae, after her mother – I would have either name- but my father compromised, and I was Sissy ever since except I started spelling it with a C when I was a young career girl.  That was my Aunt Mossie's idea- she thought it was more sophisticated.   My name is very mixed up any way Actually I was named Naomi Lee Adele Campbell – Naomi Lee after a picture of a pretty girl in the newspaper. The Adele is my mother's best friend's name Adele Best  – but we always called her Trudy.  – I would have either name- but my father compromised, I'm glad I'm known as Cissy

She was a loving and caring Aunt to me,my brother and sister. I truly felt like I was a part of her wonderful, extended family. She was a very beautiful Lady who will be missed by all who knew her.
