BUEHRING, Marianne Alice

The Payson Roundup, Payson, Arizona, Friday, January 30, 2015 Marianne Alice Buehring June 25, 1944 - January 27, 2015 Marianne Alice Buehring passed away peacefully in her home on Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2015. Marianne was born on June 25, 1944 to Harvey and Alice Draheim in Menasha, Wis. Marianne lived in Menasha until she met her lifetime partner, Ron. After marriage, they moved to Tempe, Ariz. and in 1986, moved their family to Payson. During their marriage they were blessed with two beautiful children, David and Becky. The family spent much time camping, traveling, rides in the woods — ultimately whatever they did, wherever they went, they were together, always as a family. When Marianne had some free time she thoroughly enjoyed cooking and baking, scrapbooking and talking with friends. Then, on a sunny July Sunday, the best gift was brought to her, a granddaughter, Lily Correne. Lily instantly stole her heart and they were best buddies for life. Marianne is survived by her husband of 46 years, Ron; her children, David (Melissa Chaney) Buehring, Becky (Lars) Forsythe; and her sweetest granddaughter, Lily; her sisters, Helen Henderson and Kathy (Gene) Dorn; and her brother, Joe Harvey (Gail) Draheim. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews, and everyone she met became a lasting friend. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you take time with the ones you love, cherish every memory and always say I love you. The family offers special thanks to Adrienne and Karina with Hospice Compassus, Dr. Lawrence Kasper and staff with Palo Verde Oncology. “Their love and gentle care for our mom will never leave our hearts. We are so blessed,” writes the family. Services will be at 11 a.m., Saturday, Jan. 31 at St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church, Payson, Arizona.
