BUXTON- Sharon (Thompson) Buzzell peacefully passed away surrounded by family on October 29, 2026.
She was born in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine on September 1, 1946, the daughter of Harry Arno Thompson and Kathleen Mae Cookson.
Sharon worked alongside her husband for many years running their own business, SMB Trucking. Though they lived in Maine their entire lives, she and Peter cherished the many homes they owned in Florida over the years and loved escaping to the sunshine together. Sharon will be remembered for her wonderful sense of humor, her famous peanut butter fudge, and her deep love for her family. She had a playful spirit and found great joy in her favorite characters, Mickey Mouse and the Grinch.
She was predeceased by her beloved husband of 57 years, Peter Buzzell Sr., and her great-grandson, Cody Buzzell.
She is survived by her children, Harry (Dorothy) Buzzell, Peter (Wendy) Buzzell, and Lori Buzzell-Black; grandchildren, Jessica Buzzell(Marcel Chauvette), Jeffery (Jess) Buzzell, Nathan Merrill(Dustin Stevens), Travis (Stephanie) Buzzell, Sara (Kyle) Maxwell, Brittany Buzzell, and Krysta (Darron) Gomes; and great-grandchildren, Ben, Quinn, Kelsey, Casey, Delaney, McKenna, and Raven.
Per Sharon’s wishes, no public funeral service will be held. A private burial will take place on November 11th at Highland Cemetery in Buxton (Groveville). The family wishes to extend their deepest gratitude to the staff and volunteers at Gosnell Memorial Hospice House for the exceptional care they provided to Sharon in her final days.
