Obituary

Effie Ann Wilson Burd It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Effie Ann Wilson Burd, who left this world peacefully at the age of 87. Effie was the beloved wife of Ronald C. Burd Sr., with whom she shared a lifetime of love, laughter, and unwavering devotion.

Effie's life was a testament to kindness, resilience, and the quiet strength that comes from putting family first. She was a proud and loving mother to four children, a cherished grandmother to eleven grandchildren, and a joyful great-grandmother to five great-grandchildren—each of whom was touched deeply by her warmth, her wisdom, and her boundless love.

Those who knew Effie will remember her gentle spirit, her generous heart, and devotion to God. Whether through her encouraging words, her nurturing care, or the joy she brought to family gatherings, Effie's presence was a gift that will be dearly missed.

Her legacy lives on in the hearts of her family, who will continue to honor her by living with the same grace, compassion, and faith she carried every day.
