Mrs. Burgess passed away peacefully on February 2, 2025 at Cookeville Regional Medical Center. She was born on December 24, 1930 in Jackson County, TN, the second of five children, to the late Asa Lynn and Etta Lynn.
She always took pride in cooking for her family and friends, and she enjoyed crocheting, sewing, and gardening as long as her health permitted her to do so. Even after she no longer was physically able to do many of the things that she so loved to do, she earnestly strived to regain her strength to do them again.
She had worshipped at the Sycamore Church of Christ since the 1950s and was involved in various ministries throughout those years.
She is survived by two daughters, Karen (Terry) Burgess Baggs, and Lisa Burgess; two grandsons, Justin (Jenny) Baggs and Matthew Baggs and fiance Michelle Hoyt; two great grandchildren, Judah Baggs and Landry Baggs; a brother, William Lynn and a sister, Glenda Quillen. In addition to her parents she is preceded in death by her husband of 59 years, Ernest Burgess and two brothers James Lynn and Robert Lynn.
Terry Baggs, Justin Baggs, Matthew Baggs, Eric Quillen, Ryan Quillen and Jessie Gilliam will serve as pallbearers. Members of the widows committee at Sycamore Church will serve as honorary pallbearers.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the World Bible School or Happy Haven Home for Children.
