Scot D. Powell (70) of Lee’s Summit, MO passed away February 19, 2025 after a series of health complications. He was born May 24, 1954 to Homer and Gretchen (Nelson) Powell. He was raised in Lincoln, Nebraska where he went on to get a bachelor’s degree in Engineering at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln.
Soon after graduating, he moved to Kansas City to work for Honeywell FMT. He retired after working for Honeywell for 40+ years. In Kansas City, he met the love of his life, Rosanne M. Sonnenmoser. They married September 17, 1994. He was heavily involved in the Welsh Folk Dance Society of Greater Kansas City and represented Wales in the Ethnic Enrichment Commission.
When not occupied by work or children, he enjoyed traveling, exploring new recipes, and sharing stories of his many experiences. He was an avid sports fan; you could often find him watching various sports and tuning into almost every Nebraska football game. He also made time for his interest in genealogy and ham radio.
He was preceded in death by his parents and wife, Rosanne. He is survived by brothers Kevin and Mark Powell; children Heather Daise, Nathaniel (Cree) Daise, Rhianna (Zach) Rice, Kristen, Rhys, and Ian Powell; grandchildren, Damien, Nathaniel, Promise, Lola, and Jaxson.
A celebration of life will be held Saturday, March 29, 2025 from 2-4pm at Grace United Methodist Church, 2400 E US Hwy 50, Lee’s Summit, MO 64063.
We have heard from a number of classmates who were not able to attend the 50th reunion due to the Pandemic or other reasons. Additioinally, some classmates think waiting 10 years for the next reunion is too long. Accordingly, the reunion committee has decided to distribute a questionnaire to gauge the interest in a 55th reunion in 2027. The questionnaire is a short, general questionnaire to identify the interest within the class for a 55th reunion and, if such interest exists, identify some of the major features a 55th reunion should include.

Please identify which type of event you would like to attend. Since we have had the last few reunions as 'formal' events on Saturday evening, we've come to the conclusion that we may get a higher interest if we keep the event as casual. In as much said, it may also be less expensive.
Please choose either or both of the event types below as a preference.
Casual 'Meet & Greet' cocktail party with d'oeuvres. Family Picnic BYO food. Picnic with committee providing food/drinks
