Obituary
FITCHBURG - Theresa C. Busse, age 89, of Fitchburg, passed away on Monday, April 27, 2020, after a short stay at Skaalen Nursing facility. She was born on Sept. 13, 1930, in Waterloo, Wis., the daughter of Emil and Mary (Haberman) Bartosch.
Theresa graduated from Waterloo High School. She married Gordon D. Busse on Oct. 13, 1956 in Waterloo, Wis. She worked as a cashier at Wal-Mart before retiring in 1996. Theresa was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church in Reeseville and a member of Lowell Homemakers. She enjoyed gardening, knitting, solving word search books, playing card games and golfing. Theresa’s last years living with Jim and Denise allowed her to have more time with family. She really enjoyed her grandchildren.
Theresa is survived by her two sons, Jim (Denise) Busse of Fitchburg and Ken (Kathi) Busse of Sun Prairie; her grandchildren, Kyle Hover-Busse (Ashley) of Stoughton, Mike (Amber) Herman of Fitchburg, and Corey Herman of Fitchburg; five great-grandchildren, Michael, Amelia, Madison, Liberty, and Allaina; a brother-in-law, Robert (Lynda) Busse of Sun Prairie; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Emil and Mary Bartosch; step-mother, Ida; husband, Gordon; son, Douglas; and sisters, Margaret (Erv) and Catherine (Robert).
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a celebration of Theresa’s life will be held at a later date.

My brother in Wisconsin just advised me of the death of longtime friend, Theresa. We had lost touch of one another a few years ago, when my Christmas card and letter to her were returned to me undelivered. I am so sad to hear of her passing and extend my deepest condolences to her family. She was my first friend when I moved to Waterloo, WI, we worked together in Madison, and she was maid of honor at my wedding. The happy memories of time spent with her will always be in my heart and mind. Rest in peace in the arms of a loving savior. Jeanne Cox - Des Plaines, IL
