Maribeth Whittaker Buce
September 23, 1956 - March 25, 2005
Known in the genealogical community as
Maribeth Buce, she was an avid cemetery "nut". She
and her friend Barbara Weiss read cemeteries in more counties in
the state of Texas than anyone can remember, along with cemeteries
in 13 different states. She was generous to a fault with her
cemetery readings by posting them to Find-A-Grave, Cemeteries of
Texas (and numerous others) and by telling everyone they were welcome
to post them online on their genealogy web sites.
Sadly, breast cancer has claimed her life here on earth and has
sent her home. She will be missed by her family and many friends,
and the genealogical community has lost a very valuable asset.
Maribeth wrote this for her bio on Find-A-Grave:
Don't remember when I first got interested in old graveyards but
I love the history you can find in them. It is so nice to have this
site where you can go "visiting" everyday, rain or shine!!
Thanks to everyone who contributes to this wonderful site!!
My best friend and business partner, Barbara Weiss, helps me with
the recording of the information, she loves old graveyards as much
as I do. Many thanks to Barb for all her help!!
