The Livingston Parish News - 5 Mar 2011
Mary Buzzell 
 
Beloved, beautiful mother, daughter, sister and grandmother known as “Mar 
Mar,” Mary Alice Coxe Buzzell went to live with Jesus at 6:52 p.m. Wednesday, 
March 2, 2011. She was born Sept. 15, 1946, to John E. and Margie Sibley Coxe 
of Walker. 

She is survived by her parents; four children, two daughters and a son-in-law, 
two sons and daughters-in-law, two grandsons, a sister, a brother, and beloved 
granddog, Allie Haynes. 

She was preceded in death by her husband, Fred L. Buzzell; maternal 
grandparents, R.W. “Babe” and Myrtle Sibley; paternal grandparents, James Ross 
and Mary Alice Coxe, and Mary G. Coxe; and numerous Coxe aunts and uncles.

Mary Alice was a vibrant, active member of the community until she began her 
long-fought battle with MELAS, a mitochondrial disease, six years ago. She was 
valedictorian of her class at Walker High School and graduated with honors 
from LSU, where she was also a member of Chi Omega sorority. She was a 
longtime member of First United Methodist Church in Baton Rouge and former 
pianist at Friendship United Methodist Church in Walker in her youth. Mary 
Alice loved small children and taught elementary school for many years. She 
was a beautiful person, inside and out, with a brilliant, memorable smile. She 
had many, many friends. She loved her Lord Jesus Christ and is now secure in 
His arms. She will be dearly missed here on earth until we see her again in 
Heaven. 

Visitation will be held at First United Methodist Church, 930 North Blvd., on 
Monday, March 7, from noon until the funeral service at 2 p.m. Burial 
afterwards at Roselawn Cemetery, 4045 North St. Arrangements by Rabenhorst

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to help with 
research to United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation, 8085 Saltsburg Road, 
Suite 201, Pittsburgh, PA 15239,
