Kara Elise Kopetsky

Kara will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. She was born February 17, 1990 in Frankfurt, Germany to Rhonda and Michael Kopetsky, the only child born to this union. Kara had a contagious smile and a carefree attitude that attracted people to her. She loved music, shopping, and animals. Kara had a fierce loyalty toward her family and friends. She had a zest for life that was snuffed out way too early. She is survived by her mother Rhonda and husband Jim Beckford; father Michael Kopetsky and wife Theresa; brother Thomas Beckford; and a host of family and friends. Visitation will be held from 10:00am-1:00pm followed by a memorial service at 1:00pm Saturday, September 16, at the I.B.E.W. Local Union 124 Meeting Hall, 305 E. 103rd Terr., Kansas City, MO 64114.
