It’s with great sadness that on June 21, 2021 we lost our loving mother, Grammie, sister and friend Glenette R. Buus Williams at the age of 75.
Glenette was born in Sioux Falls, S.D. on Oct. 25, 1945 to Glenn and Edna Buus.
She graduated high school in The Dalles in 1964 and attended college in Glasgow, Mont. As an adult, she lived in Pensacola, Fla., Sioux Falls, S.D., Glasgow, Mont., Lewiston, Idaho and Umatilla. Glenette worked at Bi-Mart in Hermiston for several years before retiring.
She enjoyed photography, crafting, drawing, collecting Coke memorabilia, traveling to the Oregon coast, and most of all, cherished spending time with her children and grandchildren.
Glenette was always the “cool mom”; her kids and their friends loved to hang out at her house. Our mother will be sorely missed; her life on earth may be over, but her family has peace knowing she is in heaven.
Glenette is survived by her five children, Kymn (Don), To’mey (Korey), Kevin (Jessie), Richard and Paul; five precious grandchildren, Michael (Erin), Meghan (Sam), Julia, Elise and Lena with a great-granddaughter due to arrive in October. Her siblings include sister, Marsha and brothers, Jeffrey, Richard, David and Mike.
She was preceded in death by her father, Glenn Buus; stepmother, Darlene Buus; mother, Edna Troth; and her cherished aunt, Nerine Larsen.
A private family celebration will be held.
Those who wish may make contributions in Glenette’s memory to her favorite charity, St. Jude Children’s Hospital, at stjude.org. Please share memories of Glenette with her family at burnsmortuaryhermiston.com. Burns Mortuary of Hermiston is in care of arrangements.
