BUCZEK, Barbara Elaine (nee Cook)
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Barb on February

Barb was a dedicated wife to Joseph Buczek for 59 years and leaves
behind her loving children Cindy Monkhouse (Terry), Steve Buczek, Kim
Graham (Mark), Michelle Buczek Smith (Katrina) (the late Doug Smith).
Treasured Gramma to Matt, Mike, Cody, Jake and Noah.
Predeceased by her parents, Merab (nee Allan) and Russell Cook, as well

(Sam) & Bonnie Cook. Sister in law of Ted & Marlene Buczek, Chester
Buczek and the late Helen & Bill Lenko. Barb will be deeply missed by
all her nieces, nephews and friends.
Barb met Joe when they worked at Dominion Store on Wyndham St in Guelph.
Through the years Barb worked at many jobs, her first and foremost was
taking care of her children. She enjoyed her years working with the
Guelph Campus Co-op, University of Guelph, she owned and operated
Buczek’s Landing at Guelph Airport, as well as Buczek’s Wholesale until
herself and Joe retired.
Barb had a zest for life and lived it to the fullest. She had a passion
for cooking, baking, gardening, reading, playing cards and travelled to
many places over the years, including 13 winters in Puerto Vallarta,
where they have their « Brisas Family ».
