Mary Burch Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 6, 2024.
Mary was a very happy person. She would like to be remembered for loving her family, her friends and her work. Mary worked for the Visiting Nurse Association for several years and then moved to providing excellent home care for elderly patients. Mary changed her path and became a well loved and in demand Baby Nurse.

Mary then transitioned to becoming an integral part of Gilda's Club Of South Florida. She welcomed the women with cancer and their families and cared deeply about her work.

Mary met and married the love of her life, Jerry. They spent 40 years together welcoming their children to Florida. Mary has 6 children Cathy and Kevin Keener, Michael and Janna Duckett, David and Carla Duckett, Jeffrey and Ruth Duckett, Robert and Mary Duckett and Mary Beth Duckett.

Mary is a proud and attentive Nanny on the Ocean to her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband,Gerald, " Papa Jer" in 2020. Mary and Jerry will be in their final resting place in Marine City, Michigan. There will be no service but Mary asks that you remember her with an act of kindness in her name.
