Mary Buswell Obituary
Ballston Spa, NY- Mary L. Buswell of Ballston Spa passed away Friday, Oct. 4 at home.
Born Mary L. Ranhofer on Jan. 24, 1933, she was a lifelong resident of Saratoga Springs. Born at home on Warren St., she was the daughter of the late, Christopher P. Ranhofer Sr. and Liz (Wood) Ranhofer.
She met her husband, the late, Dale R. Buswell while he was in the Air Force stationed at Ketchums Corners. They were married for 50 years prior to his passing in 2004.
She embraced country life after purchasing the farm in 1977 where we all have lots of good memories of family gatherings, horses and hay rides. She was known for her great sense of humor. She loved collecting antiques, gardening, reading and spending time with her family. She recently attended a big family celebration with her daughter Valerie and husband Tom Bradbury, son Dale Buswell Jr. and wife Cynthia, daughter Jacqueline and husband John Traver, grandchildren Sarah Buswell, Amy Bradbury, Morgan and Michael Buswell, Justin Traver, Rachel and Rafael Mota, and great grandson Alex Buswell.
In addition to her husband Dale, she is predeceased by her son Darrel, her granddaughter Rebekah Buswell, her brother Christopher Ranhofer and sister Jean Moseman.

Remembering your mother brings a smile to my face and many wonderful happy belly laughing memories. The many morning coffee visits with my mother and her wonderful way of looking at life. How she would walk across the street, SouthEast, and visit on Thanksgiving at my grandfather, Jay Hanna's house. Many stories were told and re-told and we would laugh all over again. I'm so very sorry for your loss, please accept my condolences.

Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I sent Mary a card for her 80th birthday. I hope she shared it you. I have read that your Mom was fond of antiques!! So am I!! I also heard that from my Mom...your Aunt Donna. I have fond memories of you all visiting us on the farm near Scranton, Ia. I have great pictures of your Mom and Dad the last time they visited here together. And you, Jackie, and your Dad when you came for my Dad's funeral. I thank you for that. Please know that I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and wishing we lived closer. Would you mind if some day I made it your way? God has placed it in my heart that I need to see you all again. Love and Hugs...cousin Lorrie Buswell Zellweger.
