She was born on Feb. 3, 1949, in Perrysville, to Lewis and Helen Ann Kamhout Kemna.
Kristy was a 1967 graduate of North Vermillion High School and received her bachelor's degree from Purdue University in 1971. She married David Dean Bucher in Perrysville on Feb. 1, 1969. Kristy worked in human resources, and was the jobs program director for Wabash County. She was a former member of the Artese Club in Wabash, and also several different professional organizations in Warsaw. Kristy enjoyed reading, the fall season, nice cars, shoes, and purses, fishing, concerts in the park, convertible rides and taking long baths.
