Betty Ann Buchschacher was born on May 3rd, 1937 in St. Louis, the daughter of John and Margaret (Werner) Abeln. She was received into the kingdom of God through the waters of Holy Baptism on June 13th, 1937 at Timothy Lutheran Church in St. Louis, where she later confirmed her faith in her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She attended Lindenwood Elementary and Southwest High School in St. Louis.
She was united in marriage to Jack Buchschacher on May 26, 1956. They spent over 65 years happily married, shared a beautiful life together, and had one son.
Betty was an exceptional wife and mother, serving faithfully as a homemaker. She and Jack were charter members of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Crestwood. She enjoyed playing games, doing puzzles and spending time with her family and friends.

Jack, so sorry to hear about Betty. So glad we got to talk to her a couple of weeks ago at Bennett Springs. She was such a sweet lady. I always enjoyed talking to her and Roscoe on their walks. Take care. You are in Dennis and my prayers ❤️
Aunt Betty rest in peace. I will always remember your pretty smile
Betty was a very dear soul. Always so friendly and kind to all. Her warm greeting and smile always made the heart warm when seeing her at church. Jack is the same way. She will be sorely missed on this side of heaven.
So sorry to hear about Aunt Betty’s passing. She always had a smile on her face and a positive attitude. She will live in your hearts forever.
