Ivadale, affectionately known as “Skip,” was born June 13, 1927, in Youngstown, a daughter of Byron and Adelia (Woodruff) Skipton. As a young child, her family relocated to Marietta and later returned to this area when she was a teenager. She was a 1945 graduate of Boardman High School and then received her registered nurse’s degree from West Virginia University Camden Clark School of Nursing.

Skip began her nursing career as a traveling registered nurse with the U.S. Cadet Nurses Corps, working in veterans hospitals on the West Coast to help with the war efforts. Returning to her hometown a few years later, she took a registered nurse position with Trumbull Memorial Hospital in Labor and Delivery and then worked for Southside Hospital as head nurse on 2 West. She finished her career as an industrial nurse for U.S. Steel and Republic Steel, retiring at the age of 62.

On Nov. 27, 1954, she married William C. Buehler, and they were blessed with 64 years of marriage until he preceded her in death, Jan. 3, 2019. Throughout their marriage, they enjoyed vacationing at Fort Myers Beach, Fla., and after retiring, they purchased a second home there, sharing their time between Florida and Ohio. In Florida, Mrs. Buehler was a member of the Royal Pelican Red Hat Society and enjoyed playing in a Ladies Tennis League.

Along with her husband, Mrs. Buehler was a member of the Good Hope Lutheran Church in Boardman, the Starlighter’s Dance Club and the Saxon Club, where they enjoyed playing in the Mixed Bocce League. She also enjoyed playing cards, bowling in the Applewood Ladies League, following NASCAR, cheering for the Cleveland Indians and watching her husband race his stock cars.

She is survived by her children, George (Debbie) Buehler of Montgomery, Texas, and Laurie (Jeff) Wellington of Poland; grandchildren, Benjamin Buehler of Montgomery, Texas, Jennifer (Heath) Brothers of Cincinnati, Samantha (John) Abramo of Danville, Calif., and Tierney Wellington of Pittsburgh, Pa.; four great-grandchildren, Mallory and Dominic Abramo, and Madison and Palmer Brothers; sister-in-law, Catherine (the late Wilford) Sayers of Fairview Park; and several nieces and nephews, whom she loved dearly.

In addition to her parents and husband, Mrs. Buehler was preceded in death by grandsons, Jared and Michael Buehler; and her sister, Jane Grahovac.
