Donald Leslie Stubbs

 

Donald Leslie Stubbs, age 82, of Hamilton, MO, passed away on Dec. 11, 1939, at the Golden Age Nursing Home in Braymer. Donald and his wife lived in Hamilton since 1970 and previously lived in Platte County.

Donald was born on Mar. 12, 1939, to Richard Raymond and Helen Elizabeth (Leimkuhler) Stubbs. He graduated from the Park Hill High School in Kansas City in 1957. He honorably served his country in the Army Reserves from 1956-1958. Donald worked as a farmer, and he worked in the power house for Corn Products in North Kansas City as a turbine tender. Later on he also worked in the power house as a turbine tender at the Crossroads Correctional Center in Cameron.

Donald enjoyed tinkering with and fixing anything that was not mechanical in his spare time. He loved to look at and drive Allis-Chalmers tractors. Most of all he loved to feed his fish, but not actually fish for them, he just enjoyed watching others catch his fish, and then eating them later. He was baptized at the age of eight at the Union Chapel in Platte City, and served on the New York School District school board in the past. He recently became a member of the American Legion. 

He was preceded in death by his parents and a great-grandchild, Cadence.

On Jan. 5, 1959, he married Wanda Cosbohn in Miami, OK. She survives of the home. Additional survivors include his children, Mark (Cindy) Stubbs of Hamilton, Steve (Marla) Stubbs of Springtown, TX, and Brenda (Dan) McCleskey of Hamilton; six grandchildren, Aimee, Lanna, Shane, Dillon, Megan and Maddie; four great-grandchildren; and two brothers, Leonard (Mary) Stubbs of Tulsa, OK and Ralph (Patty) Stubbs of Dearborn.

A private family graveside service will be held at a later date. Cremation has been entrusted to Bram Funeral Home in Hamilton. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Shirkey Hospice in Richmond in care of the funeral home.
