Gertrude C. Pizzuto - August 28, 1949 - March 20, 2022

Departed: 03/20/2022 (Cincinnati)

Obituary Preview: Gertrude Catherine Pizzuto (nee Fowler), 72, beloved wife of 17 years and widow of Antonio Pizzuto, loving mother of Anthony Pizzuto, Amy House, and Ashley Pizzuto, and proud grandmother to Caden House and Elliott House, passed away on March 20, 2022 at Hillebrand Nursing and Rehabilitation Center from a long battle with Kidney Disease. She is preceded in death by her parents, Jerome and Rhoda Fowler, brother Jerome Fowler and sister Carol Reynolds. She is survived by siblings Richard (Jeri) Fowler and Elizabeth (David) Chamberlin along with many nieces and nephews.

Gertrude, affectionately known as Trudy, attended Western Hills High School and graduated in 1968. Trudy loved to go on vacation, especially to Gatlinburg, TN or anywhere near the beach. Any destination that was warm and might be in “triple digits” was always her preference. She also loved making treats for her family and friends along with baking cookies with her grandsons.

Despite the obstacles that came her way – losing her youngest daughter, Ashley, shortly after she was born, being widowed at 46 years old, having a major stroke at 52 years old – Trudy always overcame and diligently worked to provide for her children and ensure she was as independent as possible. Even through her battle with Kidney Disease, Trudy fought to make sure dialysis wasn’t something she needed until absolutely necessary. She defied odds in more ways than most people would ever imagine needing to. Trudy never wanted to be a burden to others or rely on anyone for help. If anything, she wanted to make sure she was always the one able to help and give of herself to others. This was Trudy all the way to the end, an example of generous, selfless love.

A memorial service will be held in her honor on Tuesday March 29, 2022 at  the Rebold Funeral Home (3700 Glenmore Avenue, Cheviot, OH, 45211), with a visitation from 10am-11am and service beginning at 11am. If desired, memorials and donations may be made to the National Kidney Foundation (www.kidney.org).

Cincinnati, 45248.  Memorial contributions may be made to Seton High School or Bayley Place. First part of the Eulogy for Evelyn T. Busam, Funeral Mass of February 12, 2022 by Patricia Evelyn Ronan – Granddaughter

My name is Patricia Evelyn.  I am honored to be named for by grandmother, Evelyn Eleanor Traut Busam.

I am her 8th grandchild and second daughter to her third child, Elizabeth Busam Ronan.

The Lord promised Abraham that in return for keeping the covenant of faith, the descendants of Abraham and Sarah would be more numerous than the stars in the sky and the sands of the sea.

So it is for Stanley and Evelyn, who had six children, 25 grandchildren, and 53 great grandchildren (so far).

A large family is the result of love.  And I have been fortunate to benefit from my Grandma’s love in many ways.  It stays with me, even as she has moved on.

Grandma’s best lessons were about love:  Show up, show your love, and trust in God’s love to care for us.

Through these lessons, I learned the foundations of the Catholic virtues of faith, hope and charity.  Grandma lived them every day.  It is said that any virtue first requires courage, and Grandma exemplified courage in how she lived these virtues, too.

In the early 1980s, around 1982, Grandpa Stanley was very ill.  Grandma accompanied him to his many medical appointments and treatments.  Showing up for Stan was courageous and loving.  During that difficult time, Grandma showed up for her grandchildren in a special way, too.  There were about 15 of us at that time, and that year for Christmas, she gave us each a sweater she had knitted while she was at the doctors with Grandpa.  Grandma knew how to show love to many of us all at the same time.

After Grandpa’s death, Grandma had to faith and courage to adjust to a new life.  Although she was always a committed and loyal West Side Cincinnatian, born in Cheviot and living there until the early 1960s when the family moved to Charity Drive in Bridgetown/Dent, in 1984, Evelyn began her world travels.  That year she went around the world, first meeting the Ronans in Ireland, continuing on to a tour with Father Urbane of the Vatican, then meeting David in Asia, where she saw Japan, Thailand and India.  From there she flew to Hawaii, and then back to Cincinnati.  Most of Grandma’s trip was on her own, and it was her first time overseas.  Grandma’s faith and courage were HUGE.

Grandma showed up for us Ronans in a special way in 1985.  That year Beth needed urgent surgery.  It was a scary time for the four children, ages 13, 10, 9, and 5.  Patrick accompanied Beth to Richmond for the procedure, and Grandma stayed with the children through the surgery and for several weeks during Beth’s recovery.  Grandma was an anchor in the face of deep anxieties.  She taught us to pray the rosary and turn to prayer to assuage our fears.  Grandma took in stride the massive snow storm that kept us all at home, and helped get Adam to his basketball games, despite the gravel country roads and forbidding weather.  Grandma showed up and taught us to trust God.

Grandma showed up for all of her family, especially to celebrate our achievements and the sacraments.  Grandma showed us her love, and was always our biggest cheerleader.  Grandma traveled for all of us:  to graduations at high schools and universities all over the US and even in the UK, to baptisms, first communions, confirmations, weddings (especially weddings, because Grandma really loved a good party).

This family now has a cheerleader in heaven, but her love and her lessons stay with us. Just as Grandma taught us, we show up for her, for one another, we show our love, and we stay present to the love of the Lord, trusting that God cares for us and for Evelyn in her heavenly home. Second part of the Eulogy for Evelyn T. Busam, Funeral Mass of February 12, 2022 by Walter B. Gibler – Grandson

Riddle me this. What do Tom Brady, Albert Einstein and Evelyn Busam all have in common? They are each the GOAT. The Greatest. Of. All. Time.

Humor me for another second. What do quantum physics, true love, and Grandma also all have in common? They are each incredibly powerful and complex topics, and are very difficult to give proper justice to in only a few brief moments. I’m going to do my best though. With that said and without further ado, Evelyn T. Busam was certainly the best of the best. Wife, mother, grandma, great grandma, friend, caregiver, hostess, life of the party and dominant card player. Over 105 years, she lived through two world wars, Korean, Vietnam, Cold and Iraqi wars, Prohibition, Great Depression, women’s suffrage and landing on the moon. She has been around for the invention of the TV, computer, internet, and cellphone. She has been around since the creation of the bow and arrow. Okay… probably not the bow and arrow. That came about like 4,000 years ago. But you get the point. She has been around for monumental events in history It is not these landmark times she lived through that make her incredible. While her longevity is jaw-dropping, what makes her special is the ability she had to make each and every one she came into contact with a better person. Whether she was hosting a Sunday night dinner for family at her own condo after she drove her own car up to the grocery, got all of the ingredients and then prepared the meal — all at the age of 98, or whether it was her dominating in bridge against her friends at every diner on the west side, attending as many of the 4,000 different parties and events this family has here every year, traveling to Chicago to watch a basketball game, volunteering at the soup kitchen or sitting in these very pews for daily mass here at St Jude for 55 years, she had a social calendar that was busier than almost everyone else’s here. 🙂

Regardless of how busy she was though, she would always make sure we knew how much she cared. The simplest way she knew how to do that was through her faith. She would always let you know that she was praying for you daily at mass - some of us needed it more than others – and she would always end the phone calls with I love you, God bless you. She showed her love not only through words but her actions. She was selfless and caring with her time and energy. Always thoughtful. Here is a voicemail she left me from when she was 97 years old. — play voicemail on cell phone. This was not an anomaly. This is how she acted every day. When my Grandma Gibler moved to Cincinnati from Louisville in 2000, Grandma Busam, at the young age of 84, took her under her wing. She went out of her way to introduce her to her different friend groups, invited her to play cards and would always have her over for dinner. They were the best of friends and would call each other daily just to make sure the other one was doing okay. Grandma Busam always made sure Grandma Gibler felt welcome. While she was incredibly sweet and kind, she also had a quick wit and would let you know how she felt about things, for better or for worse. 🙂 The two Grandmas would often go on family vacations with us. One night on vacation after dinner, we were sitting there and I innocently asked Grandma Gibler, “Why don’t you drink alcohol?” She responded, “I am on too many medications and pills.” Without skipping a beat, Grandma Busam chimed in, “That’s why I don’t take pills!” While I stand up here today, I know that my stories and perspective could be echoed by everyone of us here in this room. The profound impact that grandma has had on each and every one of us is special. While she is no longer here with us in person, she will live in each one of us forever As Kate and Jim McCurdy’s son Liam said so eloquently: “Well at least she can go to Heaven and see her husband. She can be an angel now.”

He is survived by his wife, Susan (Ledonne), three children, Caron (Will), Gina (Melissa), and Steven, along with five grandchildren, Anthony, Vincent, Elena, Marijane, and Jefferson, siblings Ken (deceased), Gwen (Jim, deceased), Whitey (Angie), in-laws, Margaret, Tom (Janet) and Douglas (Deborah), and countless nieces, nephews, and friends.

As a young boy, Gary was trained as a mason by his father, instilling a solid work ethic. Gary was always ready to offer a helping hand for any project, look for the silver lining in the clouds, and lend a sympathetic ear to a friend in need. After graduating from LaSalle High School, he went on to study at University of Cincinnati, co-owned Carl Bausch and Sons Masonry company, and retired from Western Hills Building Supply in January 2020.

As a young man, he met and married Sue, the love of his life, and for 46 years they raised three children while opening their hearts and home to numerous “extras.” A man of few words, Gary lived and shared his daily motto, "be happy, healthy, and terrific." His heart was as big as his 6'6" stature, and his hugs and devotion to family were equally large. He passed on his belief in hard work, faith, and loyalty to his children and grandchildren, inspiring them to follow their own paths in life. His family meant more to him than anything else and he was unendingly proud of his children and grandchildren.

A life-long resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, Gary was a lover of Skyline Chili, Graeter’s ice cream, and LaRosa’s pizza. He was also a loyal Reds and Bengals fan, and like so many, would simultaneously cheer and yell at both the athletes and coaches. Along with his love of all things Cincinnati, Gary was a voracious reader and could often be found annotating an inspirational book either in the living room, before bed at night, or in his car while driving.

At any family gathering, Gary was frequently the first one on the dance floor and was easily recognized for his light footwork, and over-the-top dance moves, which would invariably end up in split pants for Sue to mend. Gary was known by his wife, daughters, nieces, and many others as a fun, exciting dance partner, ready to twirl them around the dance floor at any given time. To the embarrassment of his children, Gary was also quick to burst out in song, especially to the title track from the Broadway musical “Oklahoma,” which would carry across the house and yard in his deep baritone voice.

Everyone who met Gary quickly discovered he was an extremely kind, loving, and tender person. Forever our “Gentle Giant,” Gary was quick with a smile, a positive affirmation, a great big bear hug, or a goofy comment. For the last two and a half years of his life Gary battled ALS. With his devoted wife by his side, he battled the diagnosis with amazing grace, bravery, and strength, living every day with positivity and determination.
