Viola Buhler's Obituary
Racine-Viola Buhler, 83, passed away on Tuesday, October 23, 2019, at St. Francis Home in Fond Du Lac.
Viola was born to the late Einor and Anna (nee: Nielsen) Jensen on April 24, 1936, in Racine. She was united in marriage to Donald L. Buhler on September 15, 1956, at Bethania Lutheran Church in Racine. They were married until Donald’s passing in May of 2015.
Viola worked in credit counseling at Kurten Medical Clinic for several years. She loved to cook, but loved to have her Taco Bell every once in a while. Viola enjoyed traveling up north to their cabin and sitting on the porch with her husband, Donald. The two would have snacks and cocktails, with Viola having her gin, while looking over the Flambeau River.
