Courtney Ann (Kavanaugh) Hosman, 38, Hamilton, Mo., passed away on January 24, 2015, at Saint Luke's Hospice House in Kansas City, Mo.
Courtney was born on June 6, 1976, in Chillicothe, Mo., to David and Dana Palmer Kavanaugh. She was a 1995 graduate of Penney High School, Hamilton, and attended the University of Missouri, Columbia, and then returned to live and work in the Hamilton area. She had worked for the Puckett Law Office in Cameron, Mo., for 9 years, and then she worked at New York Life Insurance in Hamilton for the past 14 years.
Courtney was the administrative assistant for the Hamilton Volunteer Fire Department and a member of the Hamilton Federated Church.
She was a lover of the outdoors and rural life. She enjoyed boating, hunting, and every aspect of life on the farm. However, no hobby could replace the joy she derived from time with family and friends, and the love she shared for their children. Courtney enjoyed the moments in life and was always present in the now. She was a lengthy storyteller who would listen to a friend in need for twice as long.
Her greatest gift was the gift of friendship.

On May 1, 1999, Courtney married Darren Hosman in Hamilton, Mo. He survives of the home.
