Alice Buhl

Alice Anna Buhl was born March 21, 1920 in Dageling, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, where she was baptized in the Lutheran church. When she was three-years-old, she came to the United States with her parents, Ernest and Christine (Husen) Bannick. She grew up on a farm near Lake Benton, Minnesota, and was confirmed in English Lutheran Church in Lake Benton. She attended country school at District #10. Alice worked as a nurse’s aide at the hospital in Tyler, Minnesota. On July 19, 1963 she married Harold Buhl in English Lutheran Church in Lake Benton. They lived on his farm south of Tyler. Alice continued working at the Tyler Hospital while helping Harold on their farm. They retired from farming in 1981 and moved into Tyler. Alice retired as a nurse’s aide in 1983. She continued to live in their Tyler home following Harold’s death in 1998, and in 1999 moved to Danebod Village. In March 2016, Alice entered the care of Avera Sunrise Manor Nursing Home following a stroke. She died there on Wednesday, September 7, 2016 at the age of 96.

Alice was a member of Danebod Lutheran Church in Tyler, where she was active in Ladies Aid, WELCA, and the Danebod Quilters. She was a member of Tyler Senior Citizens. She enjoyed visiting with family and friends, who were kept smiling by her sense of humor. She was an avid reader, reading scores of books every year. She also enjoyed gardening, and especially loved flowers.

Alice is lovingly remembered by her brother, Emil Bannick and his wife Betty of Walnut Grove, Minnesota, and many nieces and nephews as well as other family and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, Harold; her parents; a brother, Ernest Bannick and his wife Florine; a brother-in-law, Carl Arnold Buhl and his wife Agnete Buhl, and other beloved relatives.

Blessed be her memory.
