Mrs. Mackie died Saturday, July 16, 2011, at Bridge Haven Care Cottage, Lawrence.

She was born Sept. 2, 1923, in Neosho, Mo., the daughter of Voyle Vernell and Mariana Wills Kirkpatrick. She was raised in Kansas City, Mo., attended Border Star Elementary School, and graduated from Southwest High School. She later attended the University of Missouri, but returned to Kansas City before graduating and went to work for Woolf Brothers.

Mrs. Mackie went back to college, and in 1987 at the age of 63, she graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in Art History, on the exact date of the 50th anniversary of Bill’s graduation from KU. She enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband.
