Mildred Sophia Grua Buckmier , age 90, of Bowman, formerly of Haley, ND, died Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at Southwest Healthcare Service Long Term Care in Bowman. Funeral services are scheduled for Saturday, July 17th, 2010 at 2pm, at Peace Lutheran Church in Scranton, with Reverend Charles Swanson officiating. Burial will follow near the family farm at Haley Cemetery. A friends and family service will be held Friday, July 16th, 2010 at 7pm at the Krebsbach-Kulseth Funeral Chapel.
Mildred was born June 24, 1920 south of Haley, ND to Edward and Berdina Grua. She grew up on the family farm and attended Vessey School through the 8th grade. She married Jack Buckmier on May 25, 1936 at the Cox Church. They lived on the family farm southwest of Haley where they raised their son, Roy George.
Mildred was a very generous and giving lady. She spent many hours caring for her disabled mother at her home in Scranton. She was also very ready to help any neighbors who needed anything. Mildred had many hobbies that kept her busy. She loved working in the garden taking care of the flowers and fruits and vegetables. She helped to take care of the chickens and milk the cows. She spent many many hours sewing and quilting, making sure that everyone in the family had a warm quilt. She enjoyed entertaining guests at her house with some of the best food that you would ever eat and a very competitive game of pinochle. Following a stroke in 2003, Mildred moved to Southwest Healthcare Long Term Care in Bowman. She very much enjoyed her time there, playing BINGO and random pranks on the employees. She and her family were all so very appreciative of the quality of care that she received.
Mildred is survived by her son Roy (Beverly) Buckmier of Bowman; grand daughters Cheryl (James) DeMorrett of Rhame, Sheila (Mitch) Leone of Rapid City, SD, Leann (Robert) White of Bowman. Great grand sons Josh, Levi, and Ryan DeMorrett of Rhame, Jeremy Leone of Spearfish, SD, and Travis Leone of Rapid City, SD. Survivors also include her brother Jim Grua of Mora, MN and sister Anna Hagen of Coon Rapids, MN, as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
She's preceded in death by her husband, parents, 3 brothers, and 1 sister.
