Jane Frances Wolfe, 77
Jane Frances Wolfe was born July 11, 1945 to James and Betty Reggiani in Jersey City, New Jersey and passed away on July 25, 2022 at the age of 77. On November 7, 1964 Jane married her soulmate, Tom Wolfe, and during their nearly 58 years of marriage, they were blessed with five children, eleven grandchildren, and six great grandchildren.
Jane was preceded in death by her mother and father; as well as by her sisters, Tishy Einstein and Judy Murray; her son, Thomas Michael Wolfe; her daughter, Tara Smith; and her son-in-law Rick Smith.
Growing up in New Jersey, Jane was the eldest of seven children, with five sisters and one brother. Life wasn’t easy growing up, and Jane learned early to work hard and pitch in however she could, but also to trust in God and to enjoy the life she had.
Her siblings remember her not only for her courage, strength, and trailblazing example as an older sister, but also as a young lady who was always excited to get dolled up and dance the jitterbug like the kids on American Bandstand.
New Jersey was home to Jane and Tom, as well as their first three children until 1973 when a portion of the Wolfe family headed west for new adventures. The original plan was to buy a farm, sell it for a profit, and move on to the next one – but once they settled in, they built a home and a legacy in Climax Springs, Missouri and they never left.
In 1976, Wolfe Brothers Farms, Inc. started a family-operated dairy farm and Jane was officially a farmer’s wife and a farm mom – which could mean anything on a given day and even made her a farmhand, milking cows when there wasn’t enough help.
In 1978 Tom and Jane were blessed with twins and their family was complete. Jane’s children remember her as a master seamstress and the maker of all their clothes as kids. They remember her love of dancing and of music, from Frankie Avalon and Bobby Vinton to Frankie Valley and the Shirelles.
They remember her willingness to open her home to their friends or to anyone who needed a loving place to stay, whether it was for a night or an entire summer.
Beginning in the late 80’s, Tom and Jane owned Lake Video, where Jane rented movies and made memories, along with delicious pizzas, subs, and salads. At Lake Video, she also became a friendly face to everyone in town.
In 2000, Jane took a position with the Climax Springs School District, eventually becoming the counselor’s secretary. She lit up the halls and kept everyone in line for 20 years and was truly fulfilled by her work there.
To honor Jane’s memory, the family plans to work with the school to erect a bench bearing her name, near the playground, so a part of her can always be where she was so comfortable – around a bunch of laughing kids.
Jane was a longtime member of the Climax Springs Presbyterian Church. She is survived by her husband Tom Wolfe; children John (Jill) Wolfe, Joshua (Brooke) Wolfe, and Jennifer (Jason) Cline; daughter-in-law Rhonda Wolfe; eleven grandchildren; six great grandchildren; siblings Linda (Karl) Wolfe, Lizzie (Dennis) Frey; Jimmy (Sharon) Reggiani, and Donna (Phil) Noonan; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, colleagues, and friends.
Jane Wolfe was a beloved wife, Mom, and Grandma. She was the rock of her family, a faithful servant of the Lord, and a true blessing to her community. She will be missed.

Dorothy Ann Bock, 87
Dorothy Ann Bock, of Laurie, Missouri, passed away on July 24, 2022, at her home with family by her side. Dorothy was born on August 7, 1934, to Henry and Martha Lang in Boonville, Missouri.
Dorothy grew up on a farm with her brother Bob and attended St. Peter and Paul High School. In 1952, at age 18, she married the love of her life, James Valentine Bock of Pilot Grove, Missouri. Dorothy and Jim were married for 69 years.
Dorothy and Jim moved to the Kansas City area shortly after their wedding and became active parishioners at St. Therese Catholic Church in Parkville, Missouri. With their family growing, they moved to south Kansas City and were early parishioners at St. Regis Catholic Church. Upon moving to Laurie, they joined St. Patrick’s.
Dorothy and Jim served as Marriage Preparation Leaders, assisted with marriage annulments, and were leading advocates for the Pro-Life movement. Dorothy and Jim visited and brought Holy Communion to many people in their homes and in the hospital. Dorothy was always willing to help anyone in their time of need. She would drop everything to help others and constantly put others’ needs before her own.
Dorothy’s greatest joy in life was being a wife, mother and grandmother. Dorothy went above and beyond to make every holiday or celebration special.
Dorothy and Jim hosted a “cousins’ camp” at their home at the Lake of the Ozarks in the summers for all their grandchildren. The volume and quality of the cinnamon rolls Dorothy made for every cousins’ camp is legendary.
When she wasn’t taking care of her family, Dorothy liked to square dance. She was an excellent dancer and loved to match her dress with Jim’s western shirt. The puffier her skirt, the better! Dorothy enjoyed listening and singing to country music and developed a fondness for popcorn and ice cream.
Dorothy liked to play cards and had a beautiful laugh and glowing personality.
As the leader of a large family, Dorothy was a model for organization and logistics. With seven kids and a husband to take care of, Dorothy spent many hours cooking, cleaning, and tending to her family’s needs. Dorothy did it with great love and grace. She made all of her family feel extra special.
Dorothy remained close to her brother Bob Lang and his wife Alpha of Fayette, Missouri, as well as Jim’s seven siblings and their families.
Dorothy stayed in shape by walking vigorously, usually every day. She often prayed the rosary for her children and grandchildren during her walks. She also kept a list of those for whom she needed to say extra special prayers beside her chair and received many calls from others asking her to add someone to her list because she was known for having prayers that could go straight to Jesus. Her faith was manifested in her sweet, loving personality.
Dorothy was preceded in death by her infant son Michael Anthony Bock, who is buried in St. Joseph Cemetery in Pilot Grove, Missouri.
Survivors include her husband Jim Bock of Laurie, Missouri, daughters Kathy Scaletty (Rick) of Lee's Summit, Missouri, Patti Busse (Dale) of Reeds Spring, Missouri, Becky White (Gary) of Kansas City, Missouri, Tina Kramer (Chris) of Camdenton, Missouri; sons Joe Bock (Sue Lyke) of Columbia, Maryland, Tim Bock (Becky) of Webster Groves, Missouri, John Bock (Laura) of Lee’s Summit, Missouri.
In addition, she leaves 18 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
The family would like to thank Kali Hood, Lake Regional Hospice Team, Fr. John Schmitz, and the many church members, neighbors, and friends who have supported Dorothy and Jim in this journey.
Services were held on Thursday, July 28 at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Laurie, MO.

James B. Lewis, Jr., 80
James B. Lewis, Jr., affectionately known as “Jim Bob”, passed away on July 23, 2022, after a hard-fought battle with kidney cancer and Alzheimer’s Disease.
He was born on July 17, 1942 in Miami, Oklahoma. His daddy, Skeeter Lewis, loved to tell the story about Jim being born at home, and the doctor charged them $10.00, which he had to pay in installments.
Jim was born into a family fully ingrained in the golf business. His daddy taught him at a very young age to water greens, and pick crabgrass off the fairways, work on machinery and mowers, and anything that came along with running a golf course. That early education served him well. His professional life included all facets of the industry.
Early in his career he was a Golf Professional (although he did not really like teaching women!). He was a Golf Course Superintendent, General Manager, Regional Vice President, and most proudly “Director of Dirt, Water, and Motors” at Tan-Tar-A Resort. He retired from Tan-Tar-A in 2001, and then from Columbia Sussex Corporation in 2003.
He also had a passion for golf course design, and he designed and built many golf courses, including Hidden Lakes Golf Course and the Oaks Course at Tan-Tar-A, Sycamore Creek, Eldon Country Club, Redfield Golf Course, Versailles Country Club, Lawrence Country Club, and Clinton Country Club. He consulted on many courses in the developmental stage, as well.
In 1960 he married his high school sweetheart, Nancy Ray, and to this union, four children were born. Jim said every time he changed jobs, they had a baby! Jim and Nancy were married for 19 years.
On January 17, 1981, he married the love of his life, Sue Devlin, who he hired as his secretary at Tan-Tar-A. He brought another child into the family fold; not his by DNA, but you would have never known that Joe Devlin was not his own. Jim and Sue were married for 41 years and made their life and home at the Lake.
Jim also had a passion for work and creating beautiful things. He and his partner, Hadley Frederick, designed and built over 25 homes, in a handshake partnership known as Frederick & Lewis Development. Many of the homes were in Hawk Island Estates, but also all over Osage Beach and Camden County. He was a perfectionist, and it showed in all of his projects.
He owned his own business, Lewis Home Services, after Hadley retired, and took care of countless homes in the Lake area, mainly in Tan-Tar-A Estates.
Jim loved nature. He would point out a beautiful vista and say “that would make an awesome golf course”. He loved riding his Harley, traveling in his RV, Kansas City Chiefs football, casinos, family, boating on the Lake of the Ozarks, Game Night, The Barn parties, the Chili Bowl races, and his four legged buddy, “Wally”. Jim was not a church-going man, but he possessed a love for Jesus Christ, and was a believer.
He is survived by his loving wife, Sue, his children, Amy King and her husband, John, of Birmingham, AL, his sons, Ronnie Lewis and his wife, Laura, of Osage Beach, Johnny Lewis and his life partner, Rhonda Mishler of Cedar Hill, TX, and Joe Devlin and his wife, Pamela, of Ozawkie, KS. He is also survived by his two sisters, Judy Spears and Janis Purves of Springfield, MO, fifteen grandchildren, six great grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, and countless friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Skeeter and Trella Lewis, his son, Jimmy Lewis III, and his grandson, Max Lewis.
Celebration of Life was held Saturday, July 30, 2022, at Tan-Tar-A / Margaritaville Resort, Parasol A, with a reception to follow. Funeral services are under the direction of Hedges-Scott Funeral Home, Camdenton, Missouri.
Jim’s family would like to extend their special thanks to the staff of Lake Regional Hospice, and also to Jim Bryan and Tim Scott.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Dogwood Animal Shelter, or the charity of your choice.
