Jean enjoyed playing cards and Bunco and doing crossword puzzles.  She loved reading, gardening, and never missed an episode of her favorite daytime “soaps.”

Jean is survived by three children, Duane (Jeannie) Buschta, Jackie Buschta, and Jim (Kristie) Buschta; two grandchildren, Chris (Paula) Buschta and Julie Schatz-Stevens; and four great-grandchildren.
