My Grandma Buck
Knew this day would come
Hard to say goodbye
Feeling a bit numb
Still tears in one’s eyes
Always a listening ear
No judgement ever passed
The first one to give a cheer
Teachings will always last
Heart pure and made of gold
Always putting others first
Persistence very bold
Wittiness came in bursts
Soul unlike no other
Beauty inside and out
To many a mother
Your love never a doubt
Lived life with so much drive
Legacy will live on
Touched so many lives
Memories never gone.

Facebook Twitter GoogleMary Lou Buck was a beautiful person. We will miss her. We loved her smile!
Lesley (Kuhn/Doane) was one of her cadet teachers. Lesley loved Mrs. Buck and encouraged her to be a teacher. Because of Mary Lou, she has become an excellent teacher (English and reading-6th & 7th grade). Doug enjoyed Mrs. Buck too!
We have so many memories with Mrs. Buck. We are so proud that Jaci and Sam were married, and now we also have Marlee. And now we have an extended family with Jeri & Nelson, Katie & John and the rest of the family.
We are blessed!
Love,
Susan and Todd Kuhn

So sorry to read about your mom. She was a real sweetie and truly a class act. Whenever I pick up a book to read I think of her. All of you take care. Carol & Kevin

Facebook Twitter GoogleI will always have a special place in my heart for Mrs. Buck. She genuinely cared for her students, fostered a love of learning, and helped them to follow their dreams. I only hope that I can have the same effect on my students.
I also had the pleasure of knowing her as “Grandma Buck.” I will never forget the way she giggled at Sam’s silly comments, or the way her eyes sparkled when she held Marlee.

Facebook Twitter GoogleJeri Jo, Jaci, Katy, Nelson and families, your mom/grandma was a true role model to so many! She encouraged so many to love reading and to go on to become great teachers. I will never forget our many evenings together at the Common Ground and her being right next door whenever I needed someone to listen or vent to or a shoulder to lean on. She shared all of you wonderful people with me and I have great memories of summer days in the pool or shopping or just talking. She was a wonderful person and I am proud to have been part of her life. Blessing will fall from her arms in heaven down to you here on earth! Love you all.
