Michelle L Burns

Michelle L. Burns, 57, of Johnstown, passed away on March 23, 2026, at home with her loved ones by her side. She was born on October 15, 1968, in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, to Kenneth and Aubriey Cooper.

Michelle worked as a CNA for 20 years. She was known for being loving and caring, always laughing, and for her vibrant personality-she loved music and dancing.

She is survived by her husband of 21 years, Thomas J. Burns; her sons, Harry W. Beppler III (Kelli), Vincent Lee Beppler (Brittany), and Roderick F. Eubanks Jr. (Emilee); and her brother-in-law, Eddie Killian ("Fast Eddie").

Michelle was preceded in death by her mother and father; her brothers, Kenneth and Kevin Cooper; and her sisters, Teresa Gunby and Deborah Kmeck.

If Michelle wasn't at home with her dogs, Gunner and Buddy, you could often find her at her camper. She loved spending time with her 11 grandchildren: Ethian ("E" or "Red"), Maddison ("Maddie Girl"), Harrison ("Jack-Jack"), Makenna ("Kenna"), Macklan ("Mack Daddy"), Maleah, Madelyn, Julian, Madalynne, Zavier, and Kehlani. She also cherished her "fur grandchildren": Abby May, Andy, and Luna.

Michelle wished for there to be no viewing or service. A celebration of life will be held at a later date
