SEVERINE F. (KOCH) BUCKLEY
Sev, as she was known to her close friends, joined her savior on April 15th 2011. She lived
eighty-eight years, loving and caring for her family, church and close
friends. Sev was born on August 26, 1922 in Ashland. Pennsylvania. She spent her childhood
years in Frackville, Pennsylvania and graduated from high school there in 1939. Sev completed
a business program in 1940 and used her acquired skills at Indian Town Gap,
Pennsylvania. She accompanied her husband, Raymond Buckley, to the Kansas City area
following his discharge from the US Army after WWII. Sev and Ray were happily married for
sixty-seven years. Sev retired from Sears after twenty years as an Executive Secretary.
She was an active member of Trinity Lutheran Church where their children, David L.
Buckley (Overland Park, Kansas) and Carolann Gregoire (Columbus, Ohio), were baptized. Sev
Was active over the years at Trinity and was in the ministry of Hannah
Circle.
She will always be remembered by her family and friends for her unselfish love and
faithful devotion to her calling as wife and mother. To her, always, those who were dear to her
came first. Sev was quick to turn to her Lord when in need and found consolation in her favorite
Christian hymn, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus."

and Charles Koch. She is survived by her husband, children, son-in-law, Tom Gregoire
