Alice S. Buc

Alice Buc passed away on her 96th birthday, October 21, 2017. Alice was born on October 21, 1921 in Nashville, Tennessee above her father’s shoe repair shop located on 8th & Division. She lived all of her 96 years in Nashville. Alice first lived in a home on 11th & Division (now considered the “heart of the Gulch”). She attended Tarbox School at 18th & Broadway, and graduated Hume-Fogg High School in 1938. Coincidentally, two of her three grandsons graduated from that same building at 7th & Broadway some 70 years later.

She worked for many years at several Nashville insurance agencies, and spent her free time being active in YWHA, the Jewish Community Center, and sang in several plays and musicals performed there. She also sang in the High Holiday Choir at West End Synagogue. She and her husband Jerome were married at West End Synagogue in 1955.

She was preceded in death by her husband Jerome Buc (who taught scores of Nashville children how to play piano), her parents Joseph & Fannie O. Slutsky, and her brothers Morris Slutsky and Abe Slutsky. She is survived by her son Frederic Buc, daughter-in-law Jodi Buc, grandsons Michael, Harrison and Dylan who will miss their beloved grandma very much, a nephew Myron Slutsky of Gastonia, NC, and niece Sandy Hutto of Coto de Caza, CA.

Donations may be made in her memory to West End Synagogue, Park Manor, or to Alive Hospice.

Arrangements under the direction of Marshall Donnelly Combs Funeral Home, Nashville, Tennessee.
