Eleanor (Ellie) Busam

Our loving Mom went to her heavenly home on July 25, 2017 in the comfort of her home in Perry Township. She will be missed so much as she was loved so much. Our Mom was the glue that held our family together. Her faith and love for Christ helped her during her battle with cancer. She was at peace knowing she would be reunited with family and friends who have passed. She was joyful knowing that her Savior would be greeting her as she transitioned to her heavenly home.
