Constance Claire Boles, 77, of Carl Junction, Missouri, formerly of Shawnee, Kansas, died December 25, 2010, at her home with her loving family.

Born on November 15, 1933, in Lawrence, Kansas, she was the daughter of the late Winston and Lucille Brown. She lived most of her life in Shawnee, Kansas, until her retirement, and moved to Carl Junction, Missouri to be close to her grandchildren.

In 1954 she graduated from St. Theresa Nursing School as a registered nurse. In 1956, she married John Michael Boles, and worked as a scrub nurse on rotation in the operating rooms at Menorah Medical Center, working to get her husband through medical school.

They just celebrated their 54th wedding anniversary together. She was an active member of the "Young Matron’s Society", until her retirement in December of 1997.

She is survived by her younger sister Sharon Linder; her husband Dr. John Michael Boles, MD; four children, John Michael Boles, Jr., David M. Boles, Daniel A. Boles and Paul J. Boles; 11 grandchildren; and 8 great grandchildren.

Her passion in life was serving her community and helping and loving her friends and family whom she cared about very deeply. She will be missed by all whom she touched in her life. May her soul live within all of us, and rest in peace and grace with the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
