Buena led a life of quiet service. As a young woman she was a full-time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Texas-Louisiana Mission. After returning home, one of the other missionaries introduced her brother, Blaine, to her. He opened her eyes to new worlds of life all around that she had overlooked before and captured her heart. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple on May 28, 1956. Buena continued her service in many capacities in the church. She especially enjoyed working with her husband in the church’s family history extraction program and as a temple worker in the Manti Temple. She was also active in community groups, including the Snow College Campus Women and the Sanpete Historical Writing Committee She was well known for her cooking. Her meals and baked goods were enjoyed by many. Visiting friends and family could always count on a good meal, a listening ear, and a place to sleep. Buena took pleasure in drawing, sewing, family history and scripture study. She loved children and was a great tease. She was an example of faith and relied on prayer to help her through life’s challenges. Most of all, she was devoted to her family. She was their best coach, cheerleader, assistant, nurse and counselor.
