Susan Burnaska Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Nelsons Cremation & Funeral Services - Gaylord on Oct. 1, 2024.
Susan Doreen Burnaska, age 71, of Johannesburg, Michigan, passed away on May 27, 2024.
She was born on September 28, 1952, in Detroit, Michigan, to Harry H. and Eleanor F. (Chapin) Thayer.
Susan lived a peaceful life and enjoyed the simple things. She loved the color purple but was known to hate the color red. She could often be found shopping, whether it was over the phone with QVC, online, or in person. One thing she could often be found buying was clocks. She loved her family dearly and that included her chihuahua, Chiquita.
She is survived by her husband, Gordon; and her sons, Geoff and Gary.
Please leave your messages of condolences to the family via the "Share a Memory" box to the left of the obituary.
