Army Lt. Colonel Vera Gwenolyn Ward Buzard, of Charleston, an amazing Veteran, mother and friend, went to meet her Maker on the afternoon of September 27, 2010.
Mrs. Buzard was born on October 3, 1917, in Effingham, SC, the daughter of the late Carl and Martha Anderson Ward.
Mrs. Buzard lacked less than a week of celebrating her 93rd birthday. She was a Registered Nurse and served overseas with the U.S. Army in World War II. She retired from her position as a Lt. Colonel and later retired from Maryview Hospital as a Nurse Anesthetist in Portsmouth, VA.
In retirement, Mrs. Buzard was as avid bowler and member of USBC and looked forward to her weekly rendezvous with her friends in her bowling league. She was a member of the Military Officers Association of America and belonged to the church family of Westminister Presbyterian Church, where she was an active participant in the women's circle group. She will be greatly missed.
Mrs. Buzard was the widow of Major Robert Edmond Buzard, USMC (retired) and is survived by her daughter, Mary Culberson, of Charleston, her son, Robert Tod Buzard, of Myrtle Beach, twin grandchildren, Shannon and Jessie Culberson, and a great-granddaughter, Leah Vera Culberson; her great-grandmother's namesake.
Mrs. Buzard was laid to rest, with honor, in Arlington National Cemetery.
