Tiauni J Mcghee

Tiauni McGhee-Kidd, age 63 of Kansas City, passed away on Saturday, October 20th, 2018. She was born in Wichita, Kansas on August 15th, 1955, adopted by Mayme and Marrion Wilks. Marrion passed away 7 years later and the widow Mayme remarried several years later to Peter Knapper. The family then relocated to Kansas City, MO to live with Peter Knapper.

Tiauni attended Southeast High School and once she graduated she obtained a medical and cosmetology license. In 1980, Tiauni married Gary Mcghee, and gave birth to two beautiful girls, Kiauni and Kasani Mcghee. In 1990, Tiauni and Gary parted ways and she later married David Turner, who is the father of Nicole Turner, Tiauni’s step daughter. David passed away in 2004 and in 2015 she married Edward Kidd. She is survived by her husband, three children and nine grandchildren.

Family and friends were Tiauni’s passion and delight. If anyone needed help or a place to stay she always offered her services. She enjoyed most of her time traveling and vacation with her parents and as she would say “just living the country life”. She loved kids and always had a house full. Some kids grew on her so much to the point where her nickname became “Moms”. Everyone was her “baby” as she would say.

Tiauni requested for cremation and memorial services upon her passing. The family wishes to thank all of those who cared and supported her during her last days.
