Jeanette G. Buchberger, 82, of Weston, passed away peacefully on Friday, December 8, 2023, at Rennes Health and Rehab Center.

Jeanette was born in Wausau on June 21, 1941, to the late Alfred and Catherine (Imhoff) Buchberger. She was one of ten children who had grown up on a dairy farm, working very hard every day, to help get the chores done, while dealing with many physical challenges, all of which she met with courage and determination. After her school years, Jeanette worked as a live-in nanny, where she cared for a family with six children. The children's father, who was a disabled WWII veteran, encouraged Jeanette to get her driver's license, by teaching her how to drive. After Jeanette got her license, she went out and bought her own car. This gave her the ability to work at some local restaurants as a dishwasher, and later at Crestline, until additional medical disabilities no longer allowed her to work. Jeanette reconnected with the family that she was a nanny for, and for the past twenty years she was blessed again, with having them in her life.

Spending hours doing paint by numbers, putting puzzles together, listening to country music, and watching movies, were some of the things that Jeanette enjoyed doing. But most important to her were her family and friends. She will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her.

In addition to her parents, Jeanette was preceded in death by her siblings, Sylvester (Penny), Bob (Jean), and Jim Buchberger; as well as her brothers-in-law, Danny Tryba and Dale Scheibe.

She is survived by her siblings, Marcie Scheibe of Noblesville, IN, Gary (Bonita) of Weston, WI, Vera Tryba of Hatley, WI, Ginny (Tom) Larson of Duluth, MN, Vernon (Sandy) of Hatley, WI, and Al (Shirley) of Mentor, OH; as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

A Mass of Christian Burial will take place at 11:00 am on Friday, December 15, 2023, at St. Agnes Catholic Church, 6101 Zinser Street, Weston, WI. Visitation will take place from 9:00 am until the time of services at the church. Burial will take place in the Parish Cemetery.

John J. Buettgen Funeral Home is assisting family at this time. Family and friends are asked to go to www.honorone.com to leave a memory or online condolences.
