Faith O. Buck

Faith O. Buck, 89, was called home to be with the Lord, on October 27, 2025.

Born March 3, 1936 in Passaic, New Jersey and raised in Lower Bucks County, Faith dedicated her life to caring for others through her lifelong career in health care. Her compassion and commitment touched the lives of countless patients and families over the span of 50 years of hard work. Faith was the first female Rescue Squad Driver and was also instrumental in starting the Golden Cradle Adoption Agency, where she helped many families adopt children.

Faith was known for her warm heart, strong spirit, and love of simple pleasures. She enjoyed crocheting beautiful handmade pieces for family and friends and was a proud and loyal fan of Philadelphia sports.

She is survived by her loving brother, William and step siblings Curt Detweiler and Kathy Pratt, four children: Lynne (John) Watson, Earl Buck Jr, Kevin (the late Dawn) Buck Sr and Kathy Buck, her 7 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren. Faith is preceded in death by her parents Francis and Kathryn Oostdyk, her twin brother Frank Oostdyk and her daughter Patricia Buck.

Family and friends are invited to pay their respects on Saturday, November 8, 2025 at the Wade Funeral Home, 1002 Radcliffe Street, Bristol Borough, with a viewing from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. A funeral service will follow at 11:00 a.m., after which Faith will be laid to rest at Sunset Memorial Park.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Calvary Baptist Church, 250 Green Lane, Bristol PA 19007. Donors should indicate the gift is in memory of Faith Buck.

Faith will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but her warmth, love, and legacy of care will live on in the hearts of those she touched.
