Rosa M. Buzzell

Rosa M. (Lucier) Buzzell, 79, of Athol, died peacefully Sunday, June 22, 2025, in UMass Memorial Medical Center-University Campus, Worcester, after a period of declining health.

Born in Orange on June 16, 1946, she was the daughter of the late Henry and Jennie (Thompson) Lucier. Rosa was a self-employed housekeeper employed for many years until her retirement.

Rosa was a member of the Quabbin Daycare of Orange. She loved to listen to country and western music. Rosa enjoyed helping others, often providing them a meal-something she greatly loved. But above all, her family was her world, and she cherished the memories shared over the years, always showing her warmth and affection.

Rosa is survived by her daughter, Trina Burdette; three grandchildren, Emily, Heather and Carmen; one great-grandson; sisters, Ada LePage of Baldwinville, and Carol Eaton and her husband Douglas of E. Templeton; brother, Lenny Lucier and his wife Pat of Orange; several nieces, nephews and cousins; and her former husband Kenneth E. Buzzell Sr. and his wife Peggy of Gardner.

She was predeceased by her son, Kenneth Buzzell Jr. ; three sisters, Helen Monette, Francis Nelson, and Ruth Wright; and four brothers, Henry, Earl, Harold, and Nelson Lucier.

In accordance with Rosa's wishes, there are no services.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Quabbin Valley Healthcare Activity Fund, 821 Daniel Shays Highway, Athol, MA 01331. Please reference in memory of Rosa M. Buzzell.
