Sis was born on April 16th, 1930, in Henry County, Missouri, and was the second oldest of seven children. The family moved to Kansas City, Missouri, when she was young. Sis attended North Kansas City High School and graduated in 1948 with the honor of being homecoming queen her senior year. She was also awarded a scholarship to William Woods College in St. Louis, Missouri.

At North Kansas City High School, she met Judge Glennon McFarland, the love of her life. Her story was that she saw him hanging from a tree limb and knew he was the one! They married after high school and lived in the northland for over fifty years, enjoying golf, camping, painting, and dancing! She made this world a better place. All who knew her will deeply miss her love for life and living to the fullest.

A memorial service for Sis will be on Tuesday, December 27 at 10am at White Chapel Funeral Home, 6600 NE Antioch Rd., Gladstone, MO 64119.
