About Us

Remington Villas, located in eastern Jackson County, is a quiet, peaceful community, often referred to by many of its residents as "the best kept secret in Independence," not only because of the well-maintained lawns and beautiful single story, custom-built homes, but the friendly, caring people who live here. Planned social activities include monthly luncheons, a ladies' bunko group, an annual picnic, and Christmas-holiday party.

During the past few years, we have either had to cancel or cautiously plan for social gatherings as the pandemic and resulting variations of the COVID Virus have taken their toll and touched lives throughout the area, and within our own community. Last fall, we enjoyed our largest attended annual picnic with over seventy people!
Cudos to Social Chair Sherry Larson and all of her helpers. Weather permitting, impromptu soial gatherings may include a shout out to bring your favorite snacks and beverages and join other residents for a casual, outside social gathering at the west end cul-de-sac on E 19th Terr Ct S (near the benches). Of course, your human-friendly fur babies are also invited!

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

The Social Committee (Chaired by Sherry Larson) is responsible for organizing the annual neighborhood picnic, monthly luncheons, holiday Christmas party, and other activities. We try provide a variety of opportuinities to socialize and get together with Villas friends and neighbors with various community activities and events, while respecting individual circumstances and those who prefer to retain their privacy.

If you are interested in joining or starting a book club, card club, quilting, or other group activity for either men or women, please contact the Communications Director for information. In the past, we have had Ladies' Bunco, Men's Breakfast, Ladies Coffee, and Bible study groups. Following COVID, together with a large number of new residents due to the completion Phase IV of our development, it has been more and more difficult to keep up with everyone the past few years. Getting together just for fun is a great way to become better acquainted and discover what a great neighborhood we live in!

ABOUT US: LOVE SPOKEN HERE

(Photo left: Sherry Larson, Social Chair). Following her retirement as a health care administrator, three years ago, Sherry Larson became a full time caregiver for her parents, Don and Darlene Magers, who had built their retirement home in the Villas in 2003, and enjoyed being an integral part of our community for over 20 years before they passed at age 89 and 91, in 2021 and 2022. Sherry subsequently sold her home in Grain Valley and purchased her parents home to join our Remington Villas family, and has remodeled it to make it her own.

One of the best things about living in Remington Villas, are not things at all, but the beautiful people who share our little village. In this close-knit community, neighbors greet you with a smile or a wave, and welcome new residents to our Villas "family." The Communications Team (Paula Clyma and Lori Williams) work hard keeping everyone informed of upcoming activities or events and extend all an invitation to join us at monthly luncheons, the annual picnics, and other neighborhood gatherings.

As we learn of any special news, illness, or problems that our friends and neighbors may be encountering, we would like to include them on our caring and sharing list, and we hope you will please remember them in your thoughts, and prayers. A card or phone call from you might bring a smile, and help get them back on the road to recovery. (Please be sure and obtain permission prior to reporting anyone's name to include on this web site.)

We hope you will consider sharing information about yourselves in the "Getting Acquainted" section of our quarterly newsletter, Villas News, or on this web page as another way of becoming better acquainted with one another. Please send a brief bio together with a photo to Paula Clyma, Editor via email.
