October 15, 2014

Edith Burns joined her Lord and Savior Jesus on October 12, 2014. She was born in McKenzie, AL, to Cread and Lena Bush. She was a long time resident of Pensacola where she had a successful career at St. Regis/Champion Paper company.

Mrs. Burns was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Donald Burns; and her sister, Betty Kinley.

She is survived by her sister, Neva Bowen and her four children.

Edith married Don Burns later in life and took all his children as her own. Edith devoted her life to her four children; eight grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, grand-nieces, and grand-nephews.

Nana Burns (Aunt Edith) was dearly loved by all she touched and will be greatly missed. Edith was saved by faith in her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and was a faithful member of East Brent Baptist Church.

The family would like to thank her caregivers and Covenant Hospice for their loving kindness.

The pallbearers will be her grandsons and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in her memory to East Brent Baptist Church or Covenant Hospice.
