Patti Buskirk

October 26, 1969 — March 7, 2020

Patricia A. Buskirk, age 50 of Edmore, passed away on Saturday, March 7, 2020 from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

Patti was an all-in kind of person. If she had made up her mind, she was stubborn and strong willed; and good luck to anyone trying to change her position. If she encountered a stray animal, especially a cat, she was all-in for helping it out and taking it in. If you were a friend of her daughter’s, Patti quickly became a second mom to you. If you were at her house the day after Thanksgiving you knew she was all-in on decorating for Christmas. If you helped her in her garden, went shopping with her or took a camping trip with Patti, you knew she loved to have fun, laugh, and enjoy the simple things in life. Patti also loved cooking and baking; her chili, potato salad, cookies and cheesecake were legendary. However, above all else Patti was all-in with her family, she loved them dearly and cherished the time spent with them.

Surviving Patti is her mom, Elsie Moore of Greenville; husband, Gary Buskirk of Edmore; daughters, Charlene Buskirk (Collin Roberts) of Bangor, Maine; Cassandra Buskirk of Edmore; sisters, Kathy Warden of Grand Rapids; Sue (Mark) Malec of Grand Rapids; Debra (Sam) Juarez of Greenville; Sue (Mike) Berry of Greenville; brother, Jim (Ginny) VandenBerg of Rockford; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Tim & Annette Buskirk of Edmore; Tamie Buskirk of Hayden, Colorado; Shannon Buskirk of Stanton; great aunt, Marguerite Moore of Alma; lots of nieces and nephews and many cousins.

Patti was preceded in death by her grandma, Nellie Lyons; father, Otto Moore; three brothers, David Moore; Tom Moore; Frank VandenBerg and her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Meredith & Charlene Buskirk.
