Mary Ann Busfield
January 5, 1934 - January 18, 2026
The family of Mary Ann Busfield is saddened to announce her passing on Sunday, January 18, 2026, at the age of 92.
Mary Ann was born on January 5, 1934, in Jackson, Michigan, the daughter of Harry and Ann E. (Krachie) Haviland.
Mary Ann was a proud graduate of the University of Michigan, and worked for the University for over 30 years in the Dept. Of Literature, Science, and the Arts.
Mary Ann always had a positive outlook and shared many philosophies of life to remain in our hearts, and she loved us unconditionally. Most of all she cherished every day of her fifty-year marriage to her “husby” Dave. Their years together were filled with creating memories of time spent with family, dear friends, and their shared passion for University of Michigan sports– Go Blue! Mary Ann was also the Detroit Tigers “number one fan” and she had special memories of listening to the games with her daddy growing up.
Mary Ann is survived by her husband, Dave; daughters, Terri (Bill) and Kay (David); grandchildren, Brad (Leah), Greg (Lisa), Cyndi (Ron), Diane, and Stephen; great-grandchildren, Ben, Adri, Luke, Grant, Cam, Claire, and Cole. She is further survived by her sister, Evelyn; sister-in-law, Donna (Thomas); nephews, Chuck (Marie), Kurt, and Loren (Elsie); and niece, Tracy (Bob). She was predeceased by her brother-in-law, Chuck.
Mary Ann will be cremated and a family celebration of her life will be held in the spring. She was an avid reader, and if you would like to make a memorial donation in her name, please do so to your local library.
Rest in peace wifey / mom, you will be forever loved and missed.
Arrangements were entrusted to Cole Funeral Chapel in Chelsea.
