Burnett worked most of her life in the restaurant business, with many years at Canton Café and later in the cafeteria at Farmstead Foods. She met many friends and acquaintances through her working days and enjoyed talking and joking with many of them.

Her husband, Alfred, preceded her in death; as well as her parents and seven brothers and sisters.

She is survived by her four children, Avis (Charles) Holmes of Bloomington, Arvis (the late Duane) Hahn of Marion, Iowa, James (Jane) Loge of Albert Lea and Helen (David) Zahller of St. Louis, Missouri. Also surviving are nine grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren; one sister-in-law, Caroline Jelle; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Burnett was a fun-loving, full-of-life mother, grandmother, friend and neighbor, and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
