Mary "Marie" Halun DeButch (nee Maslanka) received her angel wings on Wednesday, December 30, 2020, while holding hands & praying with her children.  Marie was born on Oct. 31, 1938 to Stanley & Elizabeth Maslanka.  She was 1 of 7 children, and is survived by her sisters Jean (Chester) , Betty (the late Bill),her brother Eddie (Angel) & brother-in-law Curtis. She will be joining her other siblings in Heaven, Stan (Pat), Dorothy (Brian), and Annie.

Marie was lucky in love. She was married twice to two of the greatest men that ever lived. Her 1st marriage was to Tadz Halun. They were married for 37 years until his passing in 1994. Her 2nd husband was Ronnie DeButch. They were married for 20 years until his passing in 2018.

Marie leaves behind her children, Catherine (Johnny) & Tony (Jen) & was preceded in death by her daughters, Judy & Lisa. She also leaves behind her step children Carmi (Susan), Michael (Michelle), Carl (Debbie) & Mark (Gina). As well as her 13 cherished grandchildren with 5 great-grandchildren and one on the way!

Many dear nieces, nephews, a host of friends and her comfort dog Bella (who is still waiting for her to return). Marie will be remembered as being one of the most thoughtful, giving souls you could have the pleasure to meet.

She was "Busia" to her grandchildren, as well as to many friends. Marie would lovingly open her home for just about any occasion possible. Everyone looked forward to a party at Busia's!

She loved to travel, with California & Hawaii being her favorite destinations. In her quiet time, she enjoyed watching the White Sox, Chicago Bears, and Notre Dame games as well as Wheel of Fortune. She was a master at word search & solitaire, and could never pass up a good crime show.  She loved to shop and attend musicals, as well as dancing to polka music, going to craft fairs, and outdoor festivals.

Busia was also a nanny to several children that she actually raised from infancy to young adults. She gave her heart to all, and always worried about everyone before herself. She loved the Lord and prayed to many Saints. We are sure she is getting to know each & every one of them in Heaven.

Friends may visit with the family on Sunday, January 10, 2021 at the Schroeder-Lauer Funeral Home, 3227 Ridge Road, Lansing, Illinois from 1:00 to 4:30 PM with a memorial service immediately following at 4:30PM with Deacon Jim Renwick officiating.
