M. Burnside Obituary
M L attended Canton High School. She married Shelby D. Burnside, Sr on January 16, 1951 and together they had three children. She worked many jobs in the Canton area but during her time at Dairy Queen, Fas Pak, and Camp Bratton Green, she made a positive impact on the lives of many young people. She was a great wife, mom and grandmother, and she was a great witness for the Lord. She was an active member of St. John's United Methodist Church where she was a children's Sunday school teacher and later joined First United Methodist Church of Canton. She was a great friend to many, was loved by many and will definitely be missed.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband along with her brother, Randall Fitzhugh, sister, Billie Jean Warrell and brother in law, Louis Warrell, daughter, Shirley Burnside Cummins and son in law Walter C. Cummins, and son, Shelby D. Burnside, Jr. She is survived by her daughter, Nancy Burnside Taylor (Earl), daughter in law, Margo Applewhite Burnside, and grandchildren Anthony Acy (Jo Ann), Alison Acy Spivey (Danny), Angela Cummins Parrott (Justin), Walter C. Cummins, Jr. (Stephanie), Caroline Cummins, Shelby D. Burnside, III, Rock Foster (Andrea), and Waye Foster (Kim), and a host of great grandchildren and great great grandchildren.
