Edward "Ed" Zeno Beussink, 84, of Jackson entered into eternal rest Thursday, Sept. 2, 2021, at his home.

He was born Easter Saturday, March 27, 1937, in Glennon, Missouri, to Henry and Mary VanderMierden Beussink. He married Rose Mary Wubker on Oct. 18, 1958, in Leopold, Missouri.

Ed and Rose Mary lived in Jackson and raised their three children there. Ed worked 36 years at Lenco, retiring in 2002 as the foundry foreman.

Ed was an active member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, serving as an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion in the church, in nursing homes and to the homebound, from the 1970s until 2018. He participated in the Cursillo movement and embodied its principals of living a Christ-like life every day.

He was also a fourth-degree Knight of the Bishop-Timon K.C. Council No. 6405 in Jackson. He received many KC awards and was responsible for the Tootsie Roll Fundraising Campaign for many years.

Ed liked to visit with his buddies at Hardee's in Jackson, and he and Rose Mary especially enjoyed the community dances at the American Legion Hall in Jackson.

He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Rose Mary Beussink of Jackson; three children, Larry (Patti) Beussink of Jackson, Gary (Cindy) Beussink of Jackson and Michelle Clark of Arnold, Missouri; eight grandchildren, Jeremy Beussink, Whitney (Joe) Rowley, Tanner (Katelyn "KK") Beussink, Caleb (Hannah) Beussink, Tyler Beussink, Madison Beussink (fiance, Seth Sievers), Camryn Clark and Colton Clark; four great-grandchildren, Finn Rowley, Laurel Rowley, Tag Rowley and Eleanor Beussink; four siblings, Eugene (Loretta) Beussink of Cape Girardeau, Henry (Lorena) Beussink of New Hamburg, Missouri, Norma (Raymond) McAfee of McClure, Illinois, and Rosemary (Bernard) DeBrock of Oran, Missouri; a sister-in-law, Nadean (the late Stanley) Beussink of Marble Hill, Missouri; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents and three siblings: Ernest (Irene) Beussink, Paul (Judy) Beussink and Stanley Beussink.
