Summary
Cynthia Newsome, beloved KSHB 41 anchor and community pillar, will be laid to rest in a heartfelt tribute at the Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, with her funeral service honoring a 25-year legacy in local media and education. Diagnosed with brain cancer in May 2025, she was celebrated for her groundbreaking work, including founding Awesome Ambitions to empower young girls, and was inducted into the Silver Circle in 2012. The station honored her by naming its newsroom “The Cynthia Newsome Newsroom” in December 2025. Her service, originally planned at United Believers Community Church, will now be held at the new venue, with the lead pastor still officiating.
