Wilma W. Buechele
Wilma W. Buechele (nee Jent), of Newbury Township, passed away peacefully on May 6, 2025, at the age of 86.
Wilma was born in Cleveland to parents William and Florence (nee Mahnke) Jent. She grew up in Westlake, attending Westlake High School, where she made dear life-long friends.
Wilma was married in 1962 to Charles Buechele and eventually moved to Newbury, where she was enthusiastically involved with her children’s activities at Newbury Schools, including music boosters, marching band, volleyball and softball. She was “Chief in Charge” of the family security alarm business, managing the company until her retirement.
Wilma was a lifelong Cleveland Indians fan, taking the bus to games as a child with her sister, Marilyn, and she had hoped for another World Series title in her lifetime. She followed the players each season, listening to the games on the radio when not available on television.
She enjoyed quilting and sewing, having crafted several cherished quilts for her children. She spent much of her free time outdoors gardening and she enjoyed live music and theater.
Wilma leaves behind her three children, Charles Jr., Lisa Scoville (Ken) and Alice (Mireno); and two grandchildren, Greg Scoville and Megan Scoville. She will also be missed by her sister, Marilyn Demaline, as well as her sister-in-law, Connie Buechele, and many treasured friends, cousins, nieces and nephews.
Wilma was preceded in death by her parents; and her beloved husband of 59 years, Charles.
