LaDora Joyce (Grace) Combs, 82, was born August 20, 1932, in Kansas City, KS; the daughter of J.B. and Grace (House) Grace. She passed away unexpectedly on Sunday November 30, 2014 at Heartland Hospital in St. Joseph, MO.
Surviving of the home, her husband of 62 years, Ross A. Combs; children, Linda (Jim) Johnson, Jim (Mary) Combs, Ronnie (Linda) Combs, Doug Combs and Jackie (Dallas) Findley; 14 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild.
LaDora was very active in her community and worked tirelessly to fulfill her dream of making the Denver School House Museum a success. She also enjoyed genealogy and would spend vast amounts of time researching family history for others. When not doing these things, she would help others in the community and was a member of the Denver Methodist Church. LaDora took pride in being a member of the Missouri Community Betterment Program/Tourism. The village of Denver has lost one of its greatest advocates.
LaDora’s greatest joy was brought to her by her children and grandchildren. Very rarely did she miss a school activity, birthday or holiday concert. This can be seen in the numerous scrapbooks kept for every family member.
She was preceded in death by her parents, sister, Alice (Grace) Stanton, aunts, Faye (House) Jobst and Meredith J. House.
Visitation was Wednesday, December 3 at the Denver Community Church, with a Celebration of Life Service to be held following the visitation at the church. In Lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Denver School House Museum in care of Helen Ruth Foster, 24578 200th Road, Grant City, MO. Online condolences: www.robersonpolleychapel.com
