Nancy Buske Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Hafemeister Funeral Home and Cremation Service on Mar. 19, 2026.
Nancy L. Buske, 80, passed away on March 18, 2026.

A memorial service will be held at St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Watertown, WI on Tuesday, March 24, 2026 at 11 a.m. with Rev. Karl Walther officiating. Family and friends are invited to gather at the church for visitation starting at 10 a.m. until the service begins. A private family graveside service will be held at the Lutheran Cemetery in Watertown, WI at a later date. Memorials, if desired, may be directed to Lakeside Lutheran High School in Lake Mills, WI or to a charity of one's choice.

Nancy Louise Buntrock was born to parents Gilbert and Margaret (Christian) Buntrock on December 16, 1945 in Watertown, WI. After graduating from high school, Nancy went on to work for Bethesda Lutheran Homes as an executive secretary and for Walmart as a department manager. Nancy also spent time as a homemaker, lovingly raising her three children. On April 15, 1967, Nancy was united in marriage to Roger Buske at St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Watertown, WI.

Nancy was a lifelong member of St. Mark's and faithfully served her church working in the school kitchen and volunteering. She enjoyed gardening flowers, reading, and cooking. Most of all, Nancy loved to spend time with her family.

Nancy is survived by her husband, Roger Buske; children, Todd (Kari) Buske, Cory (Lisa) Buske, and Jodi (Seann) Kalagher; grandchildren, Hayden (Brie) Buske, Turner (Haley) Buske, Paige (Jade) Buske, Owen (Faith) Buske, Sophie Kalagher, and Lilly Kalagher; brother, James Buntrock; and sister-in-law, Carol (Ron) Korth; as well as other nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.

Nancy was preceded in death by her parents and sister-in-law, Dorene Buntrock.
