Bubbles loved the Lake of the Ozarks and spent as much time as she could there. She was a member of St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Kansas City for more than 50 years, where she was a Eucharistic Minister and a member of The Shrine of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church at the Lake of the Ozarks for nearly 40 years. She was very involved with Catholic Charities and was a foster parent to 35 children. As the family historian, she produced 10 family rosters and maintained dozens of family books for the Meiners-Hodes family. She was an avid reader of mystery books and enjoyed playing the piano, sewing, making candy, puzzles and spending time with her friends and family. She was loved by many. She taught us that Families Are Forever.
