Carole Jeannine Buschelman Ingenthron

1943 - 2022

INGENTHRON, Carole Jeannine Buschelman, 79, passed away suddenly on Sunday, October 2, 2022. She was preceded in death by her parents, Harold Buschelman and Hilda Dendinger Buschelman; and her brother, Rev. James Buschelman. She is survived by her loving husband, Roger Philip Ingenthron; one daughter, Sheryl Lynn Ingenthron Roberts; two sons, Michael Alan Ingenthron and Daniel Joseph Ingenthron; two grandchildren, Celia Norann Roberts and Devon James Roberts; and her brothers, Joseph, Lyle, Roger and Ronald Buschelman. Carole was born on September 13, 1943 in Yankton, S.D. She grew up on a farm in Hartington, Neb. and attended a one-room schoolhouse. She graduated from Mount Marty College in Yankton with a B.S. in nursing, an occupation she pursued throughout her life. She worked as a nurse at hospitals in Omaha, Neb. and Oakland, Calif. and retired as a head nurse at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Mo. She met Roger in Omaha through her brother, Father Jim, a former schoolmate of Roger's. They were married in Hartington in 1968, with Father Jim officiating. In 1969, they moved to St. Louis, Mo., where Sherry and Mike were born. In 1972, they moved to Moraga, Calif., where Dan was born. In 1983, Carole, Roger and children relocated closer to family in St. Louis, Mo. After retiring in 2002, Carole and Roger moved to Earlysville, Va. She was active in the Buck Mountain Garden Club and Holy Comforter Catholic Church in Charlottesville. They hiked weekly in the Blue Ridge Mountains. In 2016, they moved to Parkside Village near Short Pump, where Carole became active in St. Mary's Catholic Church in Richmond. Carole loved hiking, being with nature, gardening, cooking and most of all, her family. She always enjoyed music; particularly listening to her husband, children and grandchildren perform. She loved to travel, taking trips around much of the U.S. and throughout Europe, Africa and Asia. Her life was taken unexpectedly from her in a sudden stroke after she spent the day gardening and in other normal activities. Carole was blessed with the ability to relate to others. She made friends easily and had a real empathy for others. She was a real treasure and a joy to be around and will be greatly missed. A Memorial Mass will be celebrated at 12 p.m. on Friday, October 7 at St. Mary's Church on Gayton Road by Father Michael Renninger. Online condolences can be made at Blileys.com.
