Eulogy from Darcy's funeral.


 

In Loving Memory of
Darcy Jean Bushby

Born: January 19, 1954 - in Aberdeen, SD
Passed: December 5, 2004 - in Aberdeen, SD

Darcy Jean Treeby Bushby, daughter of Harold and Myrna (Wiese) Treeby, was born on January 19, 1954 in Aberdeen, South Dakota.

Darcy grew up and attended school in Hecla, graduating with the class of 1972. In the summer of 1972, Darcy had the distinct honor of being the only girl trombone player and the only South Dakota representative that toured Europe with the International Peace Gardens Band and Choir. After high school, Darcy received a scholarship to attend Huron University. In 1976, she transferred to the Rocky Mountain College in Billings, Montana, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree with a minor in music. From 1976 to 1977, Darcy was a district and regional manager for Helen Rubenstein Cosmetics, and traveled across the United States. Darcy later lived in Hecla, where she was a sales representative for Super 8 Motels.

She was united in marriage to Derwin Bushby on November 21, 1987 at Aberdeen, SD. They made their home and began their family in Hecla. Darcy enjoyed being a mom to her children and a housewife before going to work for the National Motor Club Insurance and later James Valley Pork in Hecla.

Darcy was a member of the United Methodist Church in Hecla, where she was baptized and confirmed.  Darcy was listed in the "Who's Whom Among Greatest Students in America", she was Miss Nile Rodeo Queen, and was 2nd runner-up for queen of the Miss Montana Rodeo. Darcy competed in rodeos for many years, at which time she belonged to the South Dakota Rodeo Association, North Dakota Rodeo Association, National Finals Rodeo Association, and the Wyoming and Montana Rodeo Associations.

Darcy loved animals, especially horses and dogs. She also enjoyed playing the piano, trombone, and singing. She loved to travel and made many friends along the way. Most of all, she loved her family. And, for some odd reason, Darcy loved to cook and clean to relax.

Darcy passed away on Sunday, December 5, 2004, at Avera St. Luke's Hospital in Aberdeen, SD. She was 50 years old.

She is survived by her husband Derwin; two sons, Brady and Bryce, both still living at home; one step-daughter, Jodi Bushby, and two step-grandchildren, Rally and Shannel, all of Grand Forks, ND; her mother Myrna Treeby; her father and mother-in-law, Roy and Ann Bushby, all of Hecla, SD; three brothers, Colin (Mary) Treeby, Rapid City, SD, Cameron Treeby, Shallow Water, TX. and Hollis (Karen) Treeby, Hecla, SD; and several nieces and nephews. Darcy was preceded in death by her father Harold, her grandparents, and best friend Jackie Telin Olson and Jackie's daughter Cher Olson.
