Amy L. Burris

1952 - 2018

Born November 7, 1952 Amy was mercifully released from the pain of her physical body on the evening of August 1, 2018. We mourn her youthful spirit, which still had so much left to offer. Full of vibrant personality until the very end, she was able to visit with many of her loved ones in her final days. May she rest peacefully. Amy expressed her compassion and leadership abilities in her 40+ years as an RN, proudly earning the title of Head Nurse in the ICU. She touched countless lives with her skills and creativity in her profession. Amy was passionate about many things in this life. She was deeply devoted to her daughter, who she raised by herself, and to her beloved husband, whom she enjoyed traveling with. She was an advocate for farming and gardening, and a Master Food Preserver. She had a keen eye for a wild berry patch, always ready to pick enough for a batch of jam. Loved ones enjoyed a variety of handmade delights from Amy, known for her jams, jellies and pickles, as well as baking, quilting, knitting amd sewing. She was preceded in death by her father, Lester Miron, brother Henry and sister Lisa. Survived by husband, Mark Burris, daughter, Amanda (Ryan) Alizarine, mother, Eva Miron, three sisters: Virginia, Christine and Eve, four brothers: Jerome, Stephen, Greg and Nick. It would be impossible to list all of the people Amy influenced throughout her life with her unique wit and colorful humor. People will tell stories about Amy for years to come; famous for her naughty jokes, told with a mischievous sparkle in her eye. Amy's wish was for her loved ones to celebrate her life with a party, with joy in lieu of sadness. The family is taking some time to grieve before planning the festivities, to take place in September.
