Kenneth Lee McQuarry

Ken McQuarry was born on September 1, 1945, in Mexico, Missouri, to Betty and Frank McQuarry. He grew up in Mexico before moving to Branson in the 1970s, where he spent many wonderful years. He later moved to Springfield, where he had the special opportunity to work closely alongside his son.

Ken was preceded in death by his wife, Dianna McQuarry; his parents, Betty and Frank McQuarry; and his brother, Gary McQuarry.

He is survived by his son, Chris McQuarry and his wife, Roxie, of Springfield, Missouri; his daughter, Christy Rice and her husband, Brian, of Branson, Missouri; his sister, Barbra Jean Adams of Auburn, Alabama; and his brother, Karl McQuarry of Evergreen, Alabama.

Ken’s greatest pride and joy was his family, especially his six grandchildren: Katelynn, Joe, Austin, and Morgan McQuarry, and Bristol and Harlow Rice. He was also blessed with three great-grandchildren: Kannon, Kayden, and Kayson.

Ken loved fishing, playing golf, and spending every moment he could with his family. The time they shared and the memories they created meant more to him than anything. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew and loved him.
