She was born February 11, 1933 in Rochester, NY, the daughter of the late John and Delores (Cochrane) Olney. Mrs. Buck was a homemaker who enjoyed country life. She was an avid letter writer and was known for the flourish of her beautiful penmanship. An animal lover, she adored her pets. Mrs. Buck also enjoyed sharing colorful stories about her childhood and family. She will be lovingly remembered for her cooking and baking and always making sure that no one left her table hungry.
