Lena Mae Busick, of Norman, joined her heavenly Father on Wednesday, April 8, 2015 at the age of 78 years.

Born in Denver, Colorado, Lena was the daughter of the late Claude and Elizabeth Adams. She took Ramon L. Busick’s hand in marriage on April 26, 1955, and they enjoyed nearly 60 years of marriage. Through the years, she faithfully followed Ramon as he served our country in the United States Air Force, living in various locations including Delaware, Florida, Texas, California, as well as in the Philippines. After serving 21 years in the Air Force, Ramon retired to Norman, Oklahoma where he and Lena would call home.  Lena then began to work at the Goddard Health Center as a dietician assistant where she would dedicate 22 years of service, but her most cherished roles were a wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.

Lena was full of life and enjoyed traveling.  She especially enjoyed cruises and cruised all over the world with Ramon by her side taking in the glory of the Roman ruins, ancient sites of Troy, Hierapolis and Cappadocia, and savoring delicious European cuisine.  Lena had a passion for animals and spent many hours with her dogs by her side at Lake Thunderbird feeding the ducks, deer, cardinals, and squirrels.  She was an avid bingo player and known by friends and family as a “lucky” charm at the bingo table.  She had the heart of a humanitarian and spent countless hours quilting, crafting, and making rosaries for prisons and missions in Mexico and members of the Armed Services.  When asked to describe her in three words one would tell you she was caring, generous, and loving. The seeds of her generosity, faithfulness, and compassion spread through generations creating beauty within in her family and those fortunate enough to call her friend.

Lena is survived by her loving husband, Ramon L. Busick; her six children, Arthur A. Busick and wife Marlyn, Michael D. Busick and wife Ning, Linda M. Clinton, Patrick Busick and wife Janice, Mark L. Busick and wife Vickie, and Steven P. Busick and wife Mojgan; her sister Betty Adams, CSJ; thirteen grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren.

The family will receive friends from 6 to 7 p.m. Monday, April 13, 2015 at Havenbrook Funeral Home with a Prayer Vigil to follow at 7 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, April 14, 2015 at St. Joseph Catholic Church. Burial will follow at St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery.
