Almeta B. Fox

Almeta B. Fox, 93, of Kansas City, MO, formerly of Smithville, MO, passed away, Tuesday, October 16, 2007.

She was born on March 11, 1914 to Roy Bunyan and Julia May (Kindred) Fox in Platte County near Smithville, where she grew up and attended school. In 1932 she graduated from Smithville High School. Almeta lived in Smithville until 1939, when she moved to Kansas City.

Almeta worked at the telephone company in Smithville as an operator and I.S.C. Financial Corporation in Kansas City for 35 years. After her retirement she worked part time at a bank on the plaza in Kansas City.

“Foxy”, as she was affectionately known by many, was smart as a whip, and clever as a fox. She was known for her “one-liners” and seemed to always have a funny comeback to any question posed of her. One was always entertained when in her presence.

She was preceded in death by her parents, three sisters, Mildred Fox, Mabel Shannon, and Hazel Justus.

Almeta is survived by many nieces and nephews, other relatives and many friends.
