At 15, she left home to attend a Catholic girls’ high school in Medicine Hat. From there she entered upon her nurses’ training at Holy Cross Nurses Academy in Calgary. At Holy Cross, she made lifelong friendships with her roommates. It would be a pattern she would repeat over and over again with so many people whose lives she touched as a nurse and as neighbor.
After the war, she returned with her husband James to his home town, Dixon. Keeping her love for her native country and her friends in Canada, she made wonderful new friends everywhere she worked and lived here in California. Her professional nursing career lasted almost 40 years. Depending upon the needs of her family and the demands of raising four sons, she worked either full time or part time as a nurse at the UC Davis Student Health Center, the Woodland Clinic, in practice with Dixon Doctor John Gullick, and finally as a psychiatric nurse at the California State (prison) Medical Facility in Vacaville.
During their later years Evelyn and James spent most summers traveling north to visit family and friends in Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia. Since 1990, they also made many enjoyable trips to their son Jim’s restaurant, the Tower Café in Sacramento.
She is survived by her four sons, Richard, William, James Jr., and John; her daughters-in-law, Roberta, Carmen, and Anne-Marie; grandchildren, Innisfree, Raven, Lia, James, and David.
She was preceded in death by James, her devoted husband of 60 years.

Dr. James Buckley, loving husband, wonderful
father and grandfather, devoted family doctor and extraordinary man, died peacefully at home on April 8 surrounded by his wife of 56 years, Winnie, his family and friends. He was 82 years old.
Born in Los Angeles in 1927, Doc Buckley graduated from Bellarmine College Prep and was a member of the Santa Clara University class of 1950, where he played football and was a “boxing Bronco.” He graduated from Stritch School of Medicine, Loyola, Chicago in 1953. Jim married Winnie Brisbois, the love of his life, in 1953. Longtime Redwood City residents, they raised their 12 children there.
Jim served in the Navy in 1945 as a navigator, and in the Army’s 11th Airborne Division as a division physician/paratrooper in Ft. Campbell, Ky., and Livorno, Italy, in 1955-57. He established his Belmont practice in 1959, joined the staff of Sequoia Hospital, Redwood City, and treated patients, often multi-generational families in those locations for 50 years, retiring at age 80. He was loved by his patients, medical colleagues and the community at large. He will be missed most for his diagnostic skills, irreverent wit and sense of humor, and storytelling. Jim made house calls into the 1970s, arriving at patients’ homes with his black medical bag, driving his 1960 VW
Beetle, equipped with a flood light for locating addresses. He enjoyed mentoring and training nurses, and taught Physicians’ Assistants as an adjunct professor for Stanford Medical School.
Jim was an avid pilot and certified flight instructor, who combined his love of medicine and flying by becoming a certified FAA physician, which allowed him to “talk shop” with pilots while he performed their physicals. He was a Renaissance man, pouring over books on philosophy, history, theology and politics. He loved hiking, skiing, stargazing and enjoying his beautiful backyard. He had a great love of dogs. Jim was a deeply spiritual man, a life-long Catholic, a Knight of the Holy Sepulcher, and is survived by his two brothers who are Catholic priests, the Rev. C.M. Buckley, S.J., of Saint Thomas Aquinas College in Ojai, and the Rev. Gerald Buckley, O.P., of Holy Rosary Parish in Portland, Ore. He also is survived by his loving wife, Winnie, his 12 children and their spouses, among whom are John and Erin (Buckley) Hasbrook, of Winters, and 27 grandchildren, among whom are Catherine Hasbrook, of San Luis Obispo, and Clara and Stephen Hasbrook, of Winters. He loved his visits to Winters, dined at the Buckhorn, found the people friendly and enjoyed the natural beauty of Putah Creek and considered the mountains enchanting. We will all miss him and thank you for your love and support during this difficult time.
Services took place over the weekend in Redwood City, and were attended by hundreds of friends and family. The family thanks Crippen and Flynn Mortuary and the Parishes of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and St. Pius for their help. Jim is buried at Holy Cross Cemetery
in Colma.
