Obituary: Dubuque Telegraph Herald July 5, 2013
Bette A. DeBuhr, age 78 of Lancaster, passed away Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at Grant Regional Health Center in Lancaster with her family at her side. She was born July 11, 1934, the daughter of Benjamin and Tessa (Franklin) Meusel of Galena, Illinois.
She met Robert A. DeBuhr at a dance at the Royal Palace Dance Hall in Galena. They both loved to dance the jitterbug and waltz and found they came to love each other. They married on May 4, 1956 and had 57 years together. They raised their family on a farm just outside of Lancaster and moved into Lancaster in 1995, when they semi-retired.
Bette loved to sing and directed the church choir for 11 years at the Bethlehem E & R Church. Playing the piano and organ was one of the many talents she had. She also loved to knit, sew, and refinish furniture.
One of her favorite things to do was ride on the Goldwing, or in the car, and look at the scenery.
Bette also loved animals and would keep treats in the vehicle for the farm dogs. As they pulled into the farm, the dogs would come running.
