Mary Belle Marten

We are sad to announce the passing of Mary Belle Marten of Garden City MO. Mary was born in Kansas City MO on July 20, 1973, and left this earth on October 6, 2025.

Mary lived to be 52 years of age, touching the lives of many and leaving behind countless memories that will live on for years to come.

Mary was a sweet soul who filled our lives with her giving nature. She had a natural passion for helping others and it showed in so many ways, whether caring for her mom (and they were quite the pair), sharing her love of photography, spending time with her family and caring for her and others’ pets. Her favorite title was “aunt”, and she adored spending time with her nieces, Peyton and Katy. Mary may no longer be with us, but her spirit will live on in our hearts forever.

Mary is survived by her mother Linda Marten and her sisters, Tammy Marten and Christy Guess of Garden City MO; and her nieces Peyton Guess and Katy Ederer of Peculiar MO.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers donations be made to Wayside Waifs sent in care of Dickey Funeral Home, P.O. Box 432, Harrisonville, MO 64701.

Visitation will be held 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, October 14, 2025 at Dickey Funeral Home, Harrisonville, Missouri.

Celebration of life service will be held 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, October 14, 2025 at Dickey Funeral Home, Harrisonville, Missouri.
