Obituary: Joan Alison Buchele died 1st 2016. She was greatly weakened from a major fall and operation she had about four weeks previously.

Joan grew up in Chicago and went High School at Hyde Park High, graduating in 1952. She fell in love with library work at High School and college and decided that would be the career for her. She attended Cornell in Mount Vernon, IA and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts 11 1956. She wrote an 86 page paper to fulfill her degree at Cornell in Mount Vernon Iowa called Emerson and Transcendentalism - A study of Ralph Waldo Emerson and his relation to the transcendental movement.


She then attended University of Michigan for her Master's Degree in Library Science. She joined Mark VIII student housing co-op in 1956, which was newly purchased and had become a Graduate Women's Co-op. She worked for the University of Michigans library system, and was a charter employee at the Undergraduate Library (UGli) when it opened in 1959. The UGLi was the one of first libraries in the country to have open stacks, where students could walk freely through the stacks to choose their own books. This was considered very radical and Joan was very proud to be part of its implementation. In years to come the principle of access to materials would become the standard and goal for all libraries and initiatives. Joan was President of the Library University Staff Organization (the closest thing they had to a union she said) for a year or two. She loved the massive amounts of publications the U of M had.



She had become friends with Luther Buchele when she came to Ann Arbor since he boarded at Mark VIII where she lived. She had been impressed with his loyalty to the Co-ops as the Executive Secretary, his idealism, and his joy in life. In explaining to Dad why she broke up with another man she had been dating, she said she "wanted someone who was sweet, kind and liked people." To which Dad encouragingly said "Well I like people!" were married on 4th, 1961.



In the 1970s, Joan worked for the Ann Arbor Public Library, both at the headquarters on South Fifth Avenue and the AAPL Book Mobile. Subsequent to that, she worked as a librarian for a year at the Environmental Protection Agency (then located at the Federal building in downtown Ann Arbor). obtaining her teaching certificate in the late 1970s, she was a substitute teacher and substitute librarian for the Ann Arbor Public Schools, where she continued to work until her retirement in 1985. Throughout her life, books were extremely important to her, and her daughters have fond memories of reading and discussing books with their mother.



In the 1960s and 1970s, Joan was a leader and facilitator for International Neighbors, which helped foreign graduate students feel welcome and cared for when going to the U of M. For many years she sang for the University of Michigan Choir, highlighting that experience with the annual concerts put on by the Boston Pops with Eugene Ormandy, who, during a scary piece, told the choir to "Sing like you are walking on the ceiling." She was also a member of the First Unitarian Church of Ann Arbor, where she sang in the choir for more than forty years, participated in a womens group, and hosted and attended round robin dinners for decades. Joan was deeply committed to social justice issues, and, with her husband, Luther Buchele, supported the work of the Student Cooperative Movement in Ann Arbor and across the nation. Joan and Luther served as indefatigable leaders with the church community and had a lifelong commitment to fighting against inequality and injustice, including supporting the Congress of Racial Equality and the Student NonViolent Coordinating Committee. Generations of student co-opers remember Joans warmth, good humor, and incessant singing of saucy resistance songs. her husband Luthers sudden death in 2008, her grandchildren became the light of her life.



She taught her son Royd a love of Ralph Waldo Emerson and for 20 years they would celebrate Ralph Waldo Emerson Day on his birthday honoring him and her with a dinner and lot of readings of the great philosopher. Royd says I will miss all the classical concerts we used to go to as well as our Ralph Waldo Emerson Days. When I read her old paper from college and listen to some of the interview tapes I made of her I can see and hear her mind at work and it brings her back to life for me.



Joan hated television and banned it from her house when the elderly black and white set the Bucheles possessed stopped working in 1976. Instead of television, her daughters listened to Joans collection of musical theater records and read lots of books. can still sing the entire soundtracks to multiple musicals 40 years later. This instilled them with a lifelong love of musical theater, and somewhat spoiled them for real life, in which soft music rarely plays when you see your loved one for the first time. Joan took full advantage of the cultural opportunities Ann Arbor had to offer, and took her children to musical theater, concerts, and classic movies whenever she had the opportunity. She was an early feminist, who somewhat scorned lofty ideals of equality put forward by radical men she encountered, who often spouted these ideals at house meetings while the women were busy doing the dishes in the kitchen. She was deeply committed to fairness and community, and she always made sure the Buchele household was filled with people who needed an adopted family at Thanksgiving and Christmas time.



Survivors include: her son, Royd Stefan Buchele; daughters, Heidi continued...
