Michelle Bilyeu O'Connor, 60 of Holden, Missouri passed away on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, at her home. She was born Thursday, March 18, 1965 in Independence, Missouri, to the late Earnest Bilyeu and the late Mary (Clough) Bilyeu. Michelle graduated from Shawnee Mission Northwest High School in 1983 and earned a degree in Commercial Art from Johnson County Community College. She was the loving wife of Timothy O'Connor, marrying June 13, 1987.
Michelle worked for many years in retail for Walker Variety Store and later, Bomgaars where she was known for her warm smile and friendly spirit. She truly enjoyed connecting with people, and her kindness left a lasting impression on coworkers and customers alike.
Outside of work, Michelle’s true passion was art. She was an incredibly talented artist, and creating was not just a hobby, it was part of who she was. She needed to make art to feel whole, and through her creativity she brought beauty, color, and meaning into the lives of those around her.
In 1992, Michelle alongside her husband Tim, joined the Freedom of Road Riders, where she proudly served as Secretary and Newsletter Editor. Michelle rode a Honda Rebel motorcycle and very early on became known as "Rebel" which was fitting for her bold personality. She was a passionate advocate for this organization which was a statewide voice for Missouri motorcyclists' rights. Michelle dedicated herself wholeheartedly to this organization and the riding community she loved so much. The friendships she built there became an important part of her life.
Michelle also poured her creativity into making floats for her family’s Kansas City St. Patrick’s Day Parade entry, a tradition she cherished. Michelle joined Tim's hand in friendship in 1981 and has been designing, building and creating the family floats alongside the O'Connor family ever since.
She was a true social butterfly who loved gathering with friends and family, especially at Halloween where their family tradition of huge Halloween parties were filled with laughter, costumes, and unforgettable memories. Michelle’s vibrant spirit, artistic soul, and loving heart touched so many lives. She was involved in countless activities and communities, always giving of herself and brightening every room she entered. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered forever.
Surviving are her husband, Timothy O’Connor of the home; one child, MJ O'Connor of Holden; one brother, Mitchell (Debbra) Bilyeu of Osage Beach, MO; and her in-laws, Tim's ten siblings. She is preceded in death by her parents.
The family will receive friends from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at Campbell-Cast Funeral Home, 407 S. Pine St. Holden, Missouri. A celebration of Michelle's life will follow at 2:00 PM. Memorials may be made to Freedom of Road Riders at www.forr.net

Eleanor Rose Lloyd: September 6, 1933 – November 7, 2025
Eleanor Rose Lloyd, beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully at the age of 92 surrounded by her loving family. Born on September 6, 1933, in Hermann, Missouri, Eleanor lived a life rooted in faith, family, and unwavering devotion.
Eleanor’s early years were marked by a deep spiritual calling. After graduating from a Catholic high school, she joined a convent, where she served as Sister Joan of Arc until the age of 22. Though she eventually left the convent, her faith remained a guiding light throughout her life.
On May 4, 1957, Eleanor married the love of her life, Vern Lloyd. Together, they built not only a family but a legacy. The couple welcomed two sons, Doug (1958) and Alan (1959), and settled in Holden, Missouri, after a brief time in Washington, MO. Eleanor and Vern worked side by side to build and operate a successful grocery business that thrived for over 50 years. Their store, Lloyd’s Thriftway, became a cornerstone of the Holden community. It was more than just a place to shop, it was a gathering spot where neighbors connected, and generations were served with care and kindness. Eleanor was the heart of the operation for many years as a bookkeeper, baker, and stocker, while also raising their boys to understand the value of hard work and community.
In the late 1980s, Eleanor and Vern found joy and serenity at their lake house on the Lake of the Ozarks. It became a cherished gathering place for family and friends, filled with laughter, gardening, fishing, trolling, and home-cooked meals. Eleanor’s love for hosting and her warm hospitality left lasting memories for all who visited.
After Vern’s passing in 2010, Eleanor remained devoted to her family, spending treasured time with her sons and grandchildren. She found joy in the simple pleasures—watching Kansas City Royals games, latch hooking, sewing, and playing cards late into the night. She had a sweet tooth for s’mores and pie, and a heart full of love and resilience.
Eleanor’s life was a testament to dedication, grace, and quiet strength. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but her legacy of love, faith, and family will live on in the hearts of those she touched.
Eleanor is preceded in death by her loving husband; Vern Lloyd; her parents, Clarence and Louise Baumstark; one son, Alan Lloyd; brother Joe Baumstark; three sisters Clarine (Jerry) Means, MaryAnn (Paul) Struttmann and Charmaine (Alfred) Klott.
Surviving her passing are one son, Doug Lloyd; grandchildren, Mindy (Nathan) Hartness, Chasi Graves, Stephanie (Shawn) Callahan, Jeff (Kara) Lloyd, Jill (Steven) Miranda, Lyndsi (Brad) Rayl, and Max Lloyd; nineteen great grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren with one on the way.
Visitation will be held on Friday, November 14, 2025, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. at St. Patrick Catholic Church 703 S. Olive St. in Holden, Missouri, followed by the Mass of Christian Burial at 2:00 p.m. at the church with Father Dave Means officiating. Interment will take place at Holden Cemetery.
The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
Funeral arrangements entrusted into the care of Campbell-Cast Funeral Home, a Stewart Family Company, and online condolences may be made to the family at www.castfuneralhome.com
