She is survived by her numerous loving nieces and nephews and her special caregiver, Rena Leger, all of which she loved as her own.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Hubert and Josephine Schneider Burton; brothers, Joseph, Louis and Winston Burton; and sisters, Susie B. Hebert, Martha B. Thevis and Margaret Burton.

Pallbearers will be Patrick Thevis, Christopher Thevis, Anthony Hebert, Gaston Hebert, James Burton, Wayne Burton, and Brian Klumpp.

The family would like to express their appreciation to Dr. Patrick Griffin, the nurses and staff of Jennings American Legion Hospital and First Option Home Health, especially Betty Bellard, for their loving care and compassion.
