Emalyn Hintz Buchtien passed on to be with her Savior Jesus Christ, on Wednesday, June 8, 2022. Emalyn was born in Sealy, Texas, on March 7, 1930, to George and Florine (Hartsfield) Hintz.

Emalyn graduated from Sealy High School in 1948. Soon after graduation, Emalyn met the love of her life, Norman Walter Buchtien after he returned from his service in the United Sates Army. They were married on August 19, 1948, and were together for 52 years until Norman’s death in the year 2000.

Shortly after marrying, they made the decision to move from Sealy to Houston, TX where they raised their two sons, Ronald Craig and Michael Timothy, both of whom she was very proud of.

Emalyn was kind, thoughtful, and very generous. She was always prepared and willing to serve her family, friends, and complete strangers. She adored her family and cherished the time spent with them to the very end.

Emalyn was very well known for her excellent baking abilities and even more so for sharing them with others. The lucky recipients of her famous boxes of homemade Christmas cookies and candies waited anxiously for their delivery each year. She would graciously prepare and deliver delicious cakes, pies, and complete meals to friends and neighbors no matter what the occasion.

Emalyn is survived by her son Ronald Craig Buchtien and wife Karen and their daughters; Allison Nicole, Kelly Michelle Jackson and husband Cody, Emily McKenna, and Shelby Ann; her son Michael Timothy Buchtien and wife Monica and their daughters; Rachel Lauren Borne and husband Justin (and granddaughters Whitney Lauren and Ava Ann), Kasey Michelle Massey and her husband Mark, and Audrey Rose Marek and her husband Marshall (and grandchildren Harrison Thomas and Rasey Lange.)
