Mrs. DeWitt was born Dec. 4, 1947, in Kansas City, Mo., to Homer Woodrow Houston and Margie Sara May (Rutherford) Houston. She graduated from Memphis, Texas High School with the class of 1965. She married Steven Charles DeWitt on Jan. 19, 1979, in Lamar.

Mrs. DeWitt worked as a cost analyst for O'Sullivan Industries for 31 years and also worked as a telephone operator for Southwestern Bell. She also worked for Missouri Child Support Enforcement in 2010. She was very enthusiastic about the Kansas City Chiefs and St. Louis Cardinals. Mrs. DeWitt and her husband loved to go camping and spent most of their summers outdoors. They were incredibly thankful to get one last trip in before her passing. She loved to play the game "Joker" and was very competitive at family functions when they would play. If you were to ask anyone, she was the best cook around. She loved spending time with her grandkids and great-grandkids, as well as attending their sporting events, no matter how far the drive. She was so proud of each and everyone of them.
