John Bushée Obituary

John Harrison Bushée, 84, a 49-year resident of Davidsonville, MD, passed away on November 24, 2018 surrounded by his loving family at the Mandrin Inpatient Care Center. Born on September 14, 1934 in Philadelphia, PA to the late Aden and Mary Katherine Bushée, John and his family relocated to Pittsburgh, PA where he graduated from high school. A veteran of the U.S. Army, John made his career in the printing industry, eventually starting and managing his own business, Bushée Graphics. A man of many interests, John enjoyed reading, bowling, golfing, dancing and watching sports, especially when the Steelers were playing. He also enjoyed making people laugh with his engaging sense of humor. His greatest joy though came from spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. John is survived by his devoted wife of 53 years, Audrey B. Bushée; his children, Lisa A. (Michael) Black of Lexington, SC, Denise B. (Eddie) Blowe of Edgewater, MD and Daniel J. (Faith) Bushée of Edgewater; one sister, Nancy Alsing of Leesburg, FL; seven grandchildren, Shelby Black Flinchum, Nicki and Kasey Blowe, Alyssa and Lacee Black and Olivia and Leila Bushée and two great-grandchildren.
