Obituary for Helen Mary Busk (Ringler)

Helen Mary Busk, age 94, of Bear Lake, peacefully passed away on Wednesday July 6, 2022, at Nancy’s House AFC in Manistee.

Helen was born on October 2, 1927, in Wolcottville, Indiana, the daughter of the late Francis W. and Laura H. (Saylors) Ringler, the 11th of 13 children. She graduated from Wolcottville High School. On May 29, 1952, in Valentine, Indiana, Helen married Arlo Kenneth Busk and they shared 52 years together before Arlo’s passing on January 26, 2005.

She enjoyed reading the paper and completing all the crossword puzzles. Her favorite thing to do was sit and talk, whether on the phone or in person. Helen had a wicked sense of humor that will be deeply missed by all those that knew her.
