D. Busken, bakery founder
The bakery Daisie Busken founded 69 years ago with her husband Joseph is now the stuff of Cincinnati legend.
But when the couple started the business back in 1928, success was far from guaranteed.
Mrs. Busken was a big reason the bakery/restaurant chain has grown to 13 outlets in Greater Cincinnati today.
"She was an exceptional person," said daughter Linda Busken Jergens of Hyde Park, "because she knew how to live life fully and always with a spirit of gratitude for all that she had."
Mrs. Busken died Tuesday at the age of 91.
She used her station in life to help others, especially refugees and foreign students.
Many of those she helped came back to visit her in the last weeks of her life, Mrs. Jergens said.
"They talked about the wisdom she imparted to them," she said. "She was a wise woman."
Mrs. Busken was born July 30, 1906, in Oklahoma City.
She and her husband moved to Cincinnati in 1928. They lived in Indian Hill and reared four children: two sons, D. Page Busken and Joe Busken Jr., both of Indian Hill; and two daughters, Mrs. Jergens, and Jerry Neff of Glendale.
Other survivors include 14 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, and seven step-grandchildren.
Her husband died in 1990.
Mrs. Busken was a member of St. Thomas Episcopal Church, where she was active with the church bazaar and as a vacation Bible school teacher.
She delivered Meals on Wheels for many years and was a Brownie scout leader.
Services are at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 100 Miami Ave., Terrace Park. Entombment will be at Spring Grove Memorial Mausoleum.
