Very delayed expression of sympathy to Brad and Chris and family. I've been in touch with the few remaining Madison friends when former husband Joe died on August 26, 2023, also of a form of dementia. Buffy was the leader in our 2 young families having so much fun. Let's keep the fond memories in mind as we remember Buffy, Jim and Joe now gone.

Many fond memories of your Mom when she dined with us at the Glarner Stube. She was always so joyful and full of life. Deepest sympathies to your family for your loss.

Dear Brad, Chris and family, I graduated with your Dad and knew your Mother when they started dating. Have many memories of happy times together and lots of laughing. Always enjoyed our times together. Our sincere sympathy to all of you. Deanna and Dennis Gervasi

Let memories help console you in your time of grief. Although Alzheimer's can change the person you once knew, there are still the days when the light shone through and they were with you if for only a short time, Buffy was always a sweet customer when she came in shopping and full of news of events in her life, I send my sympathy to all the family. Cathy Madsen

Buffy helped us choose fabrics and furniture for our home, and our children grew so fond of her and appreciated all her loving attention. She was like a grandmother figure for us all for that period of time. What a beautiful and sparkling person! We will pray for her and the Stevens family.

As a Madisonian, I remember Stevens Gifts and Loved looking in the Windows at all their merchandise. I also visited their Restaurant and Loved the Food they served. The store has been gone for quite awhile, but the memories will always be there. Condolences to the Stevens' Family for the Loss of Elizabeth.

I very much appreciated the special artistic and business skills of Buffy, her son Brad, and co-worker Renee Degelau when I had my home remodeled five years ago. My home is complete with furniture from Stevens that I accumulated over the years. They are all greatly missed.

My sincerest condolences to Elizabeth's family and loved ones. I knew her thru her sister Pat who was my dear friend having met at St Ray's grade school. I knew the family fairly well back in the day and am grateful for the time I was a good friend. Blessings and prayers. I was Mary Entwistle back then. I am now Mary Entwistle Shaw.

Back in 2015, Buffy helped us to pick out floors, furniture etc. for our new home. She found us the best dining set for our kitchen. Then, Brad helped us in recovering furniture we already had! We send our deepest condolences to the family today.

Buffy, I grew up with her; first cousin; not close but friendly. I always liked her; infectious smile, friendly and welcoming. In later years did not see her much but on the occasions I did she was inviting and warm. I will miss her; one of the last in her generation, mine but a few years older. Best to her sons and family; will be thinking of her next week and beyond. Love. Dennis McGilligan, first cousin.

Rest assured Buffy is in a better place today smiling down on her family and friends. Buffy's infectious smile and personality was present from when she was on top of her game putting together incredible coordinated furnishings, accessories and through her later works when Brad would remind her graciously of what the fabric combinations were which always ended with a smile.
