Lily Burnham Obituary
Lily, a 10th grader at Clawson High School, was a remarkable individual and a constant source of joy for her friends and family. She always had a way of making everyone around her smile.
Funny, smart, and silly, Lily loved pizza and going to the movies. She was greatly loved and will be sorely missed.
She is survived by her mother, Christina Meluso and father, John Burnham, grandmother, Debbie Burnham, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
A Memorial Service will be held at Lynch & Sons Funeral Home, 1368 N. Crooks Rd. Clawson (between 14-15 Mile Roads) on Saturday, November 4, 2023 at 1pm. Friends may visit beginning at 12pm.
