Bess A Bazuin (Weller), aged 85 of Marion passed away in her home, Monday, February 13, 2023. She is preceded in death by many who loved her, parents, siblings and many other family and friends. She survived by her children, Brad (Marcia) Scarbrough, Brenda Seales, Brian (Sue) Scarbrough, Bruce (Nancy) Scarbrough and Bobette (John) Wildbahn. Many grandchildren and great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews who call her “Aunt Bess” along with extended family, friends, and neighbors, will sadly miss her. Bess lived life as only Bess would, crocheting, sewing, tatting, watching John Wayne movies along with Gunsmoke. She enjoyed her time in the woods watching the wildlife.
Bess was a fixture in the village of Marion, at the local diner serving coffee or renting the latest movies for home enjoyment, helping with homework or making change. Her sense of humor and one-of-a-kind personality will be missed by so many.
