Carol and I have many happy memories of Nancy. We miss her and pray she is resting in the love of God.
Bob and Carol Buechner

Sorry to hear about your loss. Nancy was the kindest, most caring, compassionate person I've ever known. She was always there with a kind word, was always supportive,  giving and considerate. She always had a smile to offer you. She helped me out often and cheerfully.
She will be missed tremendously and will always have a special place in my heart. 



There will never be anyone quite like Nancy. She was an amazing host, that’s for certain. Everyone that walked through her doors was treated like family. She made sure that whoever walked through her doors got a second helping of food and a third or fourth helping of her rapier wit (absolutely crushing your favorite sports team). If you were lucky enough to be a part of her life, however small or large, you were the better for it. Those holiday meals and traditions are memories we will cherish. 
Rest In Peace Nancy. You truly will be missed. 

From the first time I met Nancy and Dick, they welcomed me into their home as if I was family. Nancy was a joy to me. We shared a love of college football and a good-natured rivalry between her beloved Ohio State Buckeyes and my Georgia Bulldogs. Her mischievous sense of humor meant she was always trying to trick me with something. She always wanted to know anytime I cooked something. She loved talking about anything and everything! I was truly blessed to have known her and I will never forget her.

I met Nancy in 1987 and from day one, she was kind, welcoming, and inquisitive in a funny way. She was not just the best mother-in-law, she was my second mother. We talked on the phone every Sunday about everything; kids, movies, meals, and deals! She would always give me a task to do and the next Sunday we would talk about it. She was so proud of all her kids and grandkids. She would always tell me what a great job we did with our kids and how great they turned out. Nancy was happiest when she learned something new about you or you tried all her goodies, especially cookies! I can't call her on the phone every Sunday, but I still talk to her and always will.

I met Mrs. Buechner thru Susan and Lynn over 40 years ago.   I was in College at the time and would hang out at their house after a church group meeting.   It was always fun talking with Mrs. B .  She would usually ask a lot of questions and put me to work doing some chore around the kitchen.   I remember grating a lot of cheese for  quesadillas. It was always enjoyable and I felt just like family.   My condolences to the entire Buechner family.

Nancy had such a welcoming personality, and she will be greatly missed.   Every visit we either  shared recipes, or talked about Ohio and Ohio State (Andy being from Cincinnati, had much in common with her).  Christmas Eve will never be the same, she made the Holidays very memorable.  She was a special person and will never be forgotten.

Nancy was my neighbor since we moved to CA in 1981. She was the best neighbor anyone could want. She always kept in touch with those that left the neighborhood and shared information. She never had a bad word about anyone and had plenty of funny stories. We had a good trip to Lake Mead when the kids were young when she taught them the art of cooking hot dogs in the car back window. We often shared baked goods and Brent’s homemade icecream as we all had a sweet tooth. Nancy will be missed but not forgotten.

Nancy was one of my sweetest customers, she always had great info on free coupons for breakfast, lunch, dinners an desserts, or wonderfully tasty recipes for me. Unfortunately she hated to sit too long, especially for haircut, she'd always say skip the blow dry, I've sat long enough. I will miss her so much. I know she will keep heaven moving 

Nancy and I met at my first teaching job at Rosevelt Junior High. She, our friend Carol, and I  taught Math and developed a life long friendship even though we moved to other schools.  We got together often to play cards and have dinner parties and socialize. Our kids became part of our get togethers. We always loved visiting Nancy and Dick and checking out their big turtles.   I thought of Nancy and Dick often even after moving to Missouri after retiring. Nancy had a terrific sense of humor and always wanted to know what was going on!!  I will miss her dearly.   

Living on Harwell Drive as a kid was one of the highlights of my childhood. One of the reasons that time is a highlight in my life  is because of having the Buechner family as neighbors. Susan (or as she was called then, Susie) was my best friend, so I spent a lot of time at her house with her family and have especially fond memories of Mrs. Buechner from that time. I’ve even taken some of her traditions that I participated in into my own family. One memory I have is of waffles for dinner! I had never had breakfast for dinner and I remember Mrs.. Buechner setting out waffle irons all over the kitchen counter and everyone went and made their own waffle. As a kid, this seemed magical! Another memory I have is of the entire family,  plus the friends of the kids in the family, jumping into their 1970s station wagon and all of us heading to the beach. We would spend the entire day at Mission Bay or Del Mar or La Jolla playing on the beach and having a wonderful picnic made by Mrs. Buechner. She was incredibly fun and thoughtful, always treating the friends of the family‘s kids like they were family, too. My condolences to the entire Buechner family.  May your memories, and the memories of your friends and family, sustain you during this time of grief. 

Nancy’s daughter Susan is my friend and was my neighbor in Portsmouth, RI.  I met and got to know Nancy and Dick during their visits to Susan.  When I moved to San Diego in late 1996; Nancy and Dick opened their hearts and included me in many dinners, family celebrations and outings.  She was always trying to feed everyone; had a coupon to share for items, groceries, shows, restaurant and discounts to numerous amusement parks throughout the San Diego area.  When I hear the name Brigantine, I immediately think of Nancy and the numerous times she invited us for fun and delicious meals. Nancy and Dick were our first visitors when we lived in Gaeta Italy.  Viewing Gaeta and surrounding cities through the eyes of Nancy, was a joyful adventure!  I never saw her without a smile, always had a funny story to tell and made us feel like family.  We feel blessed to have known Nancy and cherish our memories of her.

Our deepest sympathies to Dick, Susan and family.

Love,
Nancy & Alan Boyer

I met the Buechner Family when I was around 15 years old dating their Son Jim. I remember their Sunday dinners and his Grandma Temple's wonderful mashed potatoes she would bring over. Nancy would have the full spread all ready and out on the island between the kitchen and dining room for all of us . I used to say when I grow up..have my own Family I was going to do these dinners. And I did..My Adult Kids to this day enjoy it.   Sometimes I'd come over and she would show me all her laundry detergent she got on sale . Or times she would cut out discount coupons from the "Reader" for specials on dinners and tell Jim he needed to take me out more. I was very fortunate a few years back  that thanks to Jim and Sue I had the opportunity to go to Nancy's house and sit on her front porch with her and catch up with what was going on in both our lives, my Kids, her Grandkids, Kids.. She made me feel like all that time had never passed. I am so blessed to have had that time.  My Condolences to the whole Buechner Family. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. 

Growing up,  Nancy's youngest son Steve and I were inseparable. I think there was a period of 2 years where we never missed a weekend fishing Santee Lakes together. At about the age of 16 my family fell in hard times and at one point I was living in a van with my dad in various parking lots and yards around Santee. Steve was aware of my situation and went to his mom and asked if I could live with them. Nancy and her huge heart made it clear, I needed to get a job, finish school, and she allowed me to move into their home. Without a doubt this was a life-changing opportunity for me, an act of kindness that I have never taken for granted. Nancy and her big heart along with Dick single-handedly put me on a path to be successful in life by helping me escape the otherwise bad situation I was in. Because of this opportunity I saw and felt what it was like to be part of a loving family. I truly felt like I became part of the Buechner family and I will forever be grateful.


Nancy will forever be loved and missed.

Nancy was one of a kind mother-in-law, the best anyone could ever wish for. So welcoming for the last 22 years!  We have so many fond memories together. Our weekly Sunday dinners were one of my favorite, you would never leave the house hungry, that was for sure!  She always told me where to buy different foods at the best price, even if it required me going to 3 different stores! I never meet anyone who loved dessert more than Nancy! She always made sure to save room for the most important meal - dessert! I will miss our chats, reality TV watching, cooking, baking cookies, and mostly the holidays (especially Christmas). She holds a very special place in my heart, until we meet again, Nancy ♥️ We love you so much!

We very much enjoyed visiting with Nancy during some of the family get togethers.  She was  a really nice person and we know she will be missed.

Nancy was a special human being and brought so much joy to everyone she knew...especially me.  She had a gift to make you feel like family , welcomed you into her home and made you laugh .  We shared a passion for food  and she brought a friendly competition to cooking - she always wanted to know what the special ingredients were in some of the meals I made.  Her special request was for my cranberry sauce during the holiday season - I will miss making that for her.   Nancy will always be in my heart and memories,  

Our sister-in-law, Nancy, was always a joy to be around.  She had a perpetual smile on her face and was always interested to hear what had been happening in our family and how everyone was.  Nancy was an excellent hostess.  We were sure that there would be good eats when we visited or when she and Dick hosted our family get-togethers. 
On our first trip to Europe we discovered that we would be in Lucerne, Switzerland on the same day that she and Dick would be there while on one of their European trips.  It seemed unreal to meet up with them in a city so far from home, but it made it special.  
May God take you directly to heaven and please pray for us until we can meet up again!
Love,
Jim and Dorothy

Aunt Nancy was a joy to talk to.  She was always interested in hearing about you.  She could sometimes give you that very stern serious look,  and then turn to show her happy smile.

     Nancy took bargain hunting seriously.  She was a master at spotting a good deal.  But Nancy wasn’t at all frugal with her time, her thoughtfulness, or her friendships.  She was engaging and took a genuine interest in people.  She wanted to know their opinions, interests and concerns. She had a soft spot for those who were a bit lost or without family to celebrate a holiday or big occasion.  She made them feel included and valued, like part of the family.
    Nancy had a big heart.  And she will always have a special place in ours.


Aunt Nancy always had that wonderful smile on her face. I remember her always being kind and friendly. 

Nancy was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister-in-law and friend to many.  She is gone but not forgotten.  She is at peace and rests in the hands of God.  Dick, you were a great husband and father.

Our condolences to my brother Dick and his family at the passing of Nancy.  We remember Nancy as a fun loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, who loved to get together whenever possible for a party or celebration.  Carol and I stayed with Dick and Nancy a few times while we were in San Diego and she always made us feel at home and always had that half of a banana waiting for us at breakfast.  We will miss Nancy dearly.

Nancy was a a very wonderful and special person...and sister-in-law.  Nancy was  always positive and upbeat, she was generous and unselfish, she seemed content and happy with her life.  Nancy was so proud of all her children and grand-children and loved to talk about what they were up to.  Tom and I are sad and will miss her; our hearts go out to her most precious loved ones that have lost such a special person in their lives.
