Dorothy BUEHLER Obituary
She was a resident of Aviva Senior Living, and a former resident of Winchester for 48 years. Born in Holyoke, MA, Dorothy graduated from Holyoke Hospital Nursing school in 1953. She met the love of her life, Harold Buehler, at a Westover Air Force Base dance. They were married in 1954 and stayed inseparable for 68 years. She supported her husband and their growing family as he served in the Air Force. After retirement from the Air Force, they settled in Winchester, where they owned and operated several McDonalds.
Dorothy and Harold loved hosting people for Sunday family dinner, and created a home where all were welcome. She was a dedicated member of her church, Grace Chapel, for over 40 years. Her strong faith in the Lord defined her, and was felt by all those she met. She was also a member of the Mayflower Society. Her favorite place in the world was Quonnie, RI, where she vacationed with her family every summer.
Dorothy was known for her love of nature, birds and trees, along with desserts and sweet treats. She will be remembered as one of the most positive people her loved ones have ever met, a love she shared with everyone she knew. There was no end to her kindness, celebration and love for life, family, and the world around her.
A Funeral Service will be held on Friday, January 12th, at Grace Chapel, 59 Worthen Rd. in Lexington at 11am. A Visitation Hour will begin at 10am. Burial will follow at Wildwood Cemetery in Winchester. Relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend. There will be a reception following the Burial at Cafe Escadrille in Burlington.
In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to Grace Chapel, 3 Militia Drive, Lexington MA 02421. Douglass/Customer logo

Donnie and Leanne, I don´t know if you remember me, but I remember you both very well. Your dad and mom were both wonderful people. I have such great memories of both of them at McDonald´s in Medford. I can still hear your dad saying to me, "oh hell Joannie" when I did something wrong!! But, he was always so kind and helpful with all the young kids he had working for him. Most of Medford kids had their first job there. He trained me in high school to become an assistant manager with him and most of my work ethic I learned from him. Your mom would come in, she knew everyone´s names, and always asked how everybody was and you could tell she genuinely cared for us. I´m so sorry to hear they both gone, but I know you have many, many treasured memories to hold on too. My thoughts are with you.
