Gloria Helen Buzzell
Gloria Helen Reuter Buzzell of Winchester, NH, died Saturday, April 24, 2021 at the age of 88. She passed away peacefully with family members near at the Applewood Rehabilitation Center in Winchester.
Gloria was born to Harold and Helen Pflug Reuter in New Hyde Park, NY, on January 7, 1933. She graduated from Sewanhaka High School in 1949 and Massachusetts General Hospital School of Nursing in 1953. She married Robert Levenson in 1954 and they had four children. She married David Buzzell in 1981 and they raised his three children.
Gloria's world revolved around family, and she dedicated her life to ensuring each member felt her love. She recognized individuality and applauded ambition. She encouraged the pursuit of personal growth and being satisfied with achieving one's personal best. A natural caregiver and lifelong nurse, Gloria's kindness radiated outward to her patients. She had a way of making everyone around her feel valuable. The warmth in her heart was always evident in her smile.
Gloria's abiding moral imperative was social equality. Everyone mattered to Gloria. She took care of both the very rich and the very poor and tended to each with compassion. She recognized the inherent dignity of all people, treated everyone with respect, and raised her children to do the same.
Gloria is survived by her children: Daniel Levenson and wife Carolyn of Tampa, FL, Mark Levenson and wife Patti of Shrewsbury, MA, Sharon Levenson and fiancé Rick Drawert of Guilford, VT, and Lincoln Levenson of Greenville, SC; the children she raised with David Buzzell: Roger Buzzell and wife Pam of Bernardston, MA, Marie Jarvis and husband Jack of Wilmington, NC, and Marilyn Buzzell of Hinsdale, NH; grandchildren Slade Levenson, Jesse Levenson, Max Levenson and Julia-Grace Levenson; six great-grandchildren; and sister Dorothy Shaffer of Norfolk, VA. She was preceded in death by first husband Robert Levenson, second husband David Buzzell, sister Jean Bencivenga and brother Nicholas Reuter.
The burial will be held in Wilmington, NC on a date to be announced. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to:
