Karen Buhr Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Sue was born on May 1, 1947, in Akron, Colorado, to Robert and Ruby (Parks) Monard. On November 20, 1965, she married the love of her life, Kenneth "Ken" Allen Buhr, in Appleton City, Missouri, beginning a beautiful life together filled with love, laughter, and family.
In addition to her parents, Sue is preceded in death by her son, Chad Buhr.
Sue will be remembered for the love and care she poured into every aspect of her life. She found joy in quilting, cooking, and tending her beautiful garden, where her love of flowers always shone through. A devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, Sue's greatest happiness came from spending time with her beloved granddaughter, Katherine. She had a gift for making her home a place of comfort and warmth, always putting her family's needs before her own. Her kindness, creativity, and gentle spirit will not be forgotten by those who knew her.
Sue will be greatly missed by her surviving family which includes: her husband, Ken Buhr of Rolla, MO; two sons, Travis Buhr and wife, Shelly Baker of Saddlebrooke, MO, Shawn and wife Toby of Bland, MO; one brother, Karl Monard of The Philippines; and one granddaughter, Katherine Buhr.
A memorial service for Sue Buhr will be conducted at 11 a.m. on Saturday, November 15, 2025 at the Hill & Son Funeral Home in Appleton City, MO. A graveside service will follow at Green Lawn Cemetery in Rich Hill, MO beginning at 12:30 p.m.
