It is with great sadness, we note the passing of Elizabeth T. Burleson after a long but valiant struggle with Parkinson's Disease. Mrs. Burleson will be fondly remembered as "Mrs. B" to the many hundreds of children who passed through her classroom. After graduating from the University of Alabama, Elizabeth taught school in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia, retiring after 39 years from Pinson Elementary in Birmingham. Preceded in death by her parents, Rev. CM & Elizabeth Tyndal, husband Walter C. Burleson, she leaves behind children Mark (Cindy) Burleson and Robin (Martin) Soprano and grandchildren Captain Chris (Kristy) Burleson, Randi (David) Jantz, Anthony, Ryan and Liz Soprano and one great-grandchild, Arya Burleson. Elizabeth was known for her wisdom, her great stories, sense of humor and her love of family. She will be greatly missed. The family is eternally grateful for the loving care provided by both the staff of Magnolia Trace ACTS Retirement Community in Huntsville, AL and Amedisys Hospice Care. The family will receive friends on Sunday, May 21, 2017, from 1-2 PM at Currie-Jefferson Funeral Home. The service will follow in the Chapel. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the charity of your choice.

My One and Only Sister,whom I will never forget, you have got a beautiful daughter that looks so much like you that it startles me every time I have seen her. She has your beautiful grey black hair, and big brown eyes and your beautiful brown compelxion. She has your sweet caring personality. And oh, you would be so mighty proud of her.
And then their is that smart son of yours who is officially an attorney of the law. Wow, you and Walt really produced two great Adults. But , my Elizabeth, no one can ever take your place in my heart. I miss you daily. I will always love you and regard you as the best sister in this world and thank God for letting me have you. Lynne

My sister, Elizabeth, was the best friend I ever had. Although almost 13 years older than me somehow she put up with me. There is hardly a day goes by that I don't think of her. She and I loved to travel after we both retired from teaching. Every night we would play Canasta till midnight or after. On one trip were were in Amsterdam and had to be packed and ready to go by 4;30 am. Our luggage had to be out our door at 3:00 am. We played cards all night and slept on the bus the next day. We were on a Travalgar Tour that we visited in 7 countries in 10 days. It was a whirlwind adventure and we had lots of fun. I miss those great days with her and I've never had a better lemon ice box pie that she made. It was the best.
