Alyce (Korb) Buechel, 89, of Jericho passed away on Friday, September 13, 2019 surrounded by her
loving family. She was born on May 14, 1930, the daughter of Richard and Martha (Ellermann) Korb.
She married Francis Buechel at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Marytown on February 23, 1949.
She and Francis worked side by side to establish Buechel's Stone Quarry in 1964, but Alyce's
passion lay in her work as a gifted seamstress. She loved sewing clothing for children's dolls, which she
would readily donate to charitable causes or gift to her grandchildren, and to see the face of a small
child light up as they received their beautifully crafted outfit never failed to make her beam with pride.
Apart from her generous spirit, Alyce was also known to family, friends, and even strangers for her kind
heart and willingness to help whenever possible - particularly in mending clothing, even for hours at a
time. Aside from her love of sewing, the greatest love of Alyce's life was her family and especially her
husband, Francis, with whom she could always be found holding hands as they went about their
adventures of life. She is now happily at rest with Francis where they can once again hold hands as they
begin their next great adventure together.
Survivors include 6 children: Linda (Rich) Hoerth of Chilton and their children, Theresa (Ken) Flemming,

Joe (Jeanne) Buechel, Jason (Jenna) Buechel, and Jesse (Jen) Buechel; Tim (Sandy) Buechel of Chilton and
