Betty Burns Obituary
We are sad to announce that on September 18, 2024, at the age of 61, Betty Burns of Alpharetta, Georgia passed away. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Betty Burns to pay them a last tribute.
She is survived by: her husband Ferdinand Burns, III (Freddie); her children, Gelisha Taylor-Barksdale, LaToya Pope (JaEll), Teri Holt, Asia Blankenship (Seth), Ferdinand Alexander Burns IV, Aaron Holt, Brian Holt and Gordie Holt; her grandchildren, Aiyanna Taylor, Briannon Holt, JaQuentin Madison, Jocelyn Holt, Zoe Willis, Zander Willis, Christian Holt, Kaiden Barksdale and Caleb Brantley Pope; and her sisters, Raymonda Waller of New Orleans, Ruby Marie Pitts of Atlanta and Barbara Johnson of Deridder. She is also survived by nieces and nephews.
In 2020, when the novel coronavirus swept the nation, Betty walked away from teaching. She then gathered the zeal she once put into developing curriculum and decorating bulletin boards into helping her grandchildren navigate the confusing and complex educational landscape caused by COVID-19.
