Mary Buhlig Obituary
Winchester - Mary Beth Cox Buhlig passed away Wednesday, May 14, 2025, in Winchester. She was born on April 10, 1927, the only child of Russell and Maycle Cox. She was preceded in death by her parents; along with a daughter, Debby; and son, Bob. Also preceding her was her son-in-law, Leonard Woodrum, and a grandson, Wesley Adam Buhlig.
She is survived by two sons and three daughters. James (Diane) Buhlig of Jacksonville, Dan (Jackie) Buhlig of Nashville, TN, Nancy Stice, Christine Woodrum and Gina (Dan) Glossop all of Winchester. She was a proud grandmother of nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
Mary Beth had a long, big life. After completing high school at Bluffs, she ventured to Washington DC and worked for the War Department at the end of WWII. Upon returning to Illinois, she was employed by Marine Bank in Springfield. Her longest employment was with Scott County FS in Winchester. Over the years Mary Beth enjoyed bowling and ceramics. She especially enjoyed playing cards and games at family gatherings. She was a fabulous cook; her fried chicken was better than KFC. Her home was a gathering place where everyone was welcome.
Private family services will be held. Memorials are suggested to the Scott County Nursing Center in recognition of the outstanding care she received. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.airsman-hires.com

Mary Beth. To me, I knew her as a spicy angel. She mad3 me laugh, cry, smile, and even scared me a few times. I enjoyed taking care of her "kitty", too, but not as much as I loved taking care of her. She loved joking around, and making others laugh was her favorite. She had such a pure heart. Her "spice" was definitely added by God for flavor, and she had flavor. I miss her. My sympathy goes out to her family. It was a privilege to know her. It was a gift to love her. It was sweet to be loved by her. I will never forget her sweet smile.
