Dr. Arthur V. McAuley, 80, passed away peacefully in Kansas City, Missouri on February 10, 2025 after a long illness with Parkinson’s Disease. He was born in Chicago, IL January 21, 1945 to Dr. Roy E. McAuley and Ruth Arlene Nicholson McAuley who both preceded him in death.

He graduated Elizabethtown (PA) Area High School, Class of 1963, then attended McPherson (KS) College where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences, Class of 1967. Before continuing his formal education, he lived in Europe for several years and traveled the world. Upon returning to the US, he obtained a DDS at The School of Dentistry, University of Missouri Kansas City, Class 1975, and concluded his professional education with a General Practice Residency at The Memorial Hospital, Worcester, Massachusetts in 1976.

He remained in Massachusetts and settled in Paxton, MA where he established a family dental practice from 1976 until his retirement in 2006.

On August 29, 1992 he married Maria Victoria Porras in North Andover, MA who preceded him in death November 10, 2021.

Arthur and Victoria took great pride in the wonderful homestead they created in Paxton with many family gatherings, events for friends and business associates, and always with an open door to various wanderers throughout the years. In October 2023 he moved to Kansas City, MO to assisted care.

Arthur will lovingly be remembered and missed by extended family, friends, and surviving immediate family, Mark R. McAuley (Virginia) of Kansas City, MO, Anne McAuley of Kansas City, MO, and Ruth Alicia McAuley Jones of Leeton, MO. Also surviving are sons Alexander McAuley of Spencer, MA and Ian McAuley of Norwalk CT, both from a previous marriage.

Arthur will forever remain a blessing in the lives of all those with whom he shared his many personal gifts of living in kindness, patience, grace, dignity, generosity, wit, and wisdom. His ashes will be scattered along with his wife Victoria’s ashes at a later date and time by immediate family members.

As the chaplain said during Arthur’s blessing at his death, “this is not just an end, it is also a beginning.”
