Barbara A. Bujalski, 80, of Medina, went to be with the Lord on Tue., Nov. 19, 2019, in her home. She was born on Jan. 2, 1939 in Buffalo, a daughter of the late Ludwig and Barbara (Bartmann) Schmitt.

She married Joseph Bujalski on July 18, 1957. They were married for 60 years. He preceded her in death.

Barbara was a longtime resident of Ridgeway. Raised by a hardworking dairy farming family, she attended Lyndonville schools and graduated from Medina High School in 1957. She loved roller skating, cheerleading, black licorice, the sunshine, music and dancing. She spent many years crocheting blankets and making macramé chairs for her loved ones. She made amazing pancakes and the best chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting. Barbara enjoyed many years of competitively showing horses with her husband and sons, but she will be most remembered as a devoted and loving wife, mother and grandmother with a generous and fun spirit. She sacrificially gave her time to create many wonderful memories with her five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, and they loved her dearly.

She was predeceased by her twin sister, Mary (Schmitt) Grosslinger; brother, Alfred Schmitt; and husband, Joseph Bujalski.

Surviving from this loving union are her sons, Joseph (Tammy) Bujalski and Stanley Bujalski; her grandchildren, Janeen (Jason) Benziger, J.J. (Nicole) Bujalski, Joshua (Amanda) Bujalski, Cody Bujalski and Alyx Bujalski; her great-grandsons, Jakob and James Benziger, and Brayden and Bentley Bujalski; her sister, Eleanor (Hermann) Pohl; and many nieces and nephews.

Services will be held at West Ridgeway Cemetery. The date will be announced in the early spring.
