James Robert “Bob” Hildebrand, 75, sadly passed away Saturday, January 21, 2023.

Bob
 was born February 3, 1947, in Hill City, Kansas. Best known by his 
friends and family as “Hilde," he was a true cowboy at heart. In his 
younger years you would often find him at the local rodeo events around

friends and knew his way around a pool table, but he had a real passion 
for the outdoors. He spent many hours hunting and fishing at the local 
lakes. As a fan of Ducks Unlimited, Bob attended multiple banquets 
where he won guided fishing tours in Minnesota. When he wasn’t at the 
lake you could find him at his local safety meeting, playing solitaire, 
or cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs.

Bob was 
preceded in death by his parents, Frederick &amp; Emma (Albertson) 
Hildebrand and his sister Janet Ashbaugh. He is survived by his 
brother, Brett (Traci) Hildebrand, two sons Chris (Rebecca) Hildebrand 
and Matt (Kim) Hildebrand, four grandchildren and multiple nieces and 
nephews.

Sharon Ann Perkins passed away quietly in her home in 
Lee’s Summit MO, January 16, 2023, surrounded by her daughters and 
husband. She was born February 9, 1943 to Harold and Ivy Summers, and 
was preceded in death by her parents, her two brothers, Bill and Jack, 
and her three sisters, Virginia, Lois, and Mary Martha. Sharon graduated from Saint Anthony’s School of Nursing (Hays,KS) 
in 1964 and worked as a registered nurse in various hospitals over the 
years. She was an intelligent, cheerful bundle of energy, and her 
compassion was only exceeded by her kindness. Sharon was an avid reader 
and international traveler, having visited Rome, Athens, Paris and 
London, among other destinations. She volunteered her time fostering and
 bottle-feeding orphaned kittens, an effort which brought her great joy.
 She was a devoted wife and mother and loved her family with all her 
heart. She is sorely missed. A Celebration of Life will take place in her home Saturday, 
February 11, from 2:00 to 5:00.&nbsp; As Sharon was an avid animal lover, in 
lieu of flowers, donations in her name to local animal shelters would be
 most appropriate.
