Joyce Buehler
Joyce Buehler, 92, of Sun City Center, FL, passed away peacefully in the presence of her loving husband and several of her sons and stepsons.
She was born in Salamanca, New York, and grew up in the greater Buffalo, New York, area. During her senior year in high school she started working as a telephone operator. After World War II ended, she married her husband Benjamin Buehler, and they celebrated over 50 years of marriage together before his passing. Together they had four children: Bonnie Rowell, Mark Buehler, Matthew Buehler and Luke Buehler. After her youngest child was born, she returned to work for the New York Telephone Company and retired as a manager.
In 1994, she and her husband Benjamin relocated to Kings Point. After Benjamin passed away, she married Clement Bissonette and shared over 15 years of marriage. Her family expanded to include seven more stepchildren: Susan Gibson, Stephen Bissonette, Gary Bissonette, Aimee Bissonette McKamey, Shawn Malley, Mark Bissonette and Danielle Kasmarick. All of whom affectionately referred to her as “Mom.”
Joyce took great pride in her 26 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.
She is pre-deceased by her siblings; her husband, Benjamin Buehler, and her daughter Bonnie Rowell.
Prior to retirement, Joyce enjoyed home bureau meetings, crafts and cake making. Once in Kings Point, she enjoyed golf, dancing, her circle of friends and volunteering for many charitable causes.
Please send any memorials to Shriners Children’s Hospital or St. Judes Children’s Hospital.
A Funeral Mass will be held at Prince of Peace Catholic Church on Monday, January 6, 2020 at 11 a.m. A luncheon will follow immediately after Mass in the church’s Conesa Center Hall. Arrangements by Sun City Center Funeral Home, 813-634-9900.
