Wanda Lynne Burkett, 74, passed away June 4,2023 at her cherished farm just as the sun was rising. Lynne was fiercely dedicated and fought tirelessly to ensure the dignified and respectful treatment of persons with disabilities. This was her life’s work in profession and in retirement. Lynne was equally at home in a classroom, boardroom, courtroom, garden or barn. Lynne was always willing to assist a friend whether it be to share an insightful perspective or to lend a quiet hand of support and invariably she seemed to know exactly how to help.
She is survived by her loving daughter Christa Williams.
Mrs. Burkett is preceded in death by her Father Wilburn “Pudge” Burkett and Mother Wanda Daugherty Owens; siblings Clarice Alice Burkett, Theresa Ann Burkett and Preston Lee Burkett.
