Obituary

Martha Agnes Dromey, Fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church, Tuesday, May 30, 2023.

Beloved sister of Mary (Wilbur) Gleckler and John Dromey; Cherished aunt of Cathy (Bill) Saccente, John (Dionne) Gleckler, and Mary (Carl) Nelson; Loving great-aunt of Angelo Saccente, Salvatore Saccente, Jonah Gleckler, Eva Gleckler, Michael Nelson, Sarah Nelson, Paul Nelson, Tim Nelson, and Josie Nelson. Our dear cousin and friend. Martha was preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Clementine Dromey.

Martha was a 1957 graduate of Baring High School, Baring, Missouri. She attended Northeast Missouri State Teachers College for one year (1957-58), completing business and secretarial courses. She began her professional career at J.F. Pritchard and Company in Kansas City, Missouri in 1958. She later returned to school, earning an Associate in Arts Degree from Penn Valley Community College in 1984. She retired from Black & Veatch in 2009, after a cumulative 51 years of service. One of her anniversary letters notes that she had "an amazing talent for getting along with people."

Martha was active in various organizations in the Kansas City area, including the Waldo Homes Association and the Catholic Order of Foresters. She enjoyed sewing and quilting, among other hobbies. She was a fixture at family celebrations, camera in hand, and happily traveled even great distances to celebrate Baptisms, Confirmations, weddings, anniversaries, and graduations. She will be truly missed.

Martha was an active parishioner of Christ the King Parish in Kansas City for many years before moving to Bridgeton, Missouri, in 2021 to be close to her family. She was a daily communicant at the Sarah Community, where she resided until her death. Her family wishes to thank the incredible staff of the Sarah Community for taking such beautiful care of Martha, since her move to Elizabeth House in February of 2022.
