SOUTH BEND - Rose (Witkowski) Bujeker, 97, of South Bend, IN, passed away at 12:15 a.m. Tuesday, June 24, 2014 at the Sanctuary at St. Paul's- South Bend, IN. She was born on September 4, 1916 in Mishawaka, IN to Kazmier and Josephine (Kochara) Witkowski. She attended St. Bavo Elementary School and Mishawaka High School. On December 2, 1939, she was united in marriage to Matthew Bujeker of South Bend in St. Joseph Catholic Church, Mishawaka, IN. Shortly after their first child, Carolyn, was born they moved to South Bend. They had two sons then, Richard and Philip. Her husband Matt passed away in July of 1990 after 60 years of marriage. Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Catherine Cybulski and her husband Victor; her brother, Ed "Butch" Witkowski; her brother-in-law, Thomas Bujeker and sister-in-law, Gertie Bujeker; nephew, Robert Bujeker; and brothers-in-law, John, Isadore, and Steve Bujeker. Rose was employed at Ball Band at the time of her marriage and then became a stay at home Mom until her children were in school. She then became employed with Versals, later known as Vikings, retiring from there in the early 1970's. Rose was a loving Wife, Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother who devoted herself to her home and her children. She loved to cook but could never give the recipe to favorite foods that the family loved and if she did it was three pages long. She is survived by her daughter, Carolyn (Jim) Chrzan of Granger, IN; and her sons, Richard (Donna) Bujeker and Philip (Camille) Bujeker, also of Granger, IN; grandchildren: Nikki Carr & Dan Carr of Billings, MT; Jeff Chrzan of New York City; Adam (Tori) Bujeker of Atlanta, GA; and Ryan Bujeker of Chicago, IL; and great-grandchildren: Madison Harper and Grace Carr of Billings, MT; and Lain, Sloane, and Clancy Bujeker of Atlanta, GA. Also surviving are nieces, Marlene (Tom) Erhardt and Cookie (Mike) Cybulski; and nephews, Don (Diana) Cybulski, Ron Cybulski and Tommy Bujeker. Rose is a current member of Christ the King Parish; former member of St. Stanislaus B & M Parish for many years; and a life member of Z.B. Falcons. Much thanks goes to the staff of the 2nd floor at the Sanctuary of St. Paul's for our Mom's loving care which they provided.
