Ms. Buller was selfemployed as a professional housekeeper.
She continued in this line of work for more than 45 years.
She enjoyed playing bingo, vacationing in Las Vegas and traveling the U.S. to visit her family. Halloween was her favorite holiday by far, with Christmas coming in at a distant second.
She was a great cook and her homemade pie crusts were legendary.
She was the matriarch of the family and lived her life as a rock for her family. Though her family is comforted that she lived a long, fulfilling life, they will still miss her deeply.
