Ada "Jackie" Burns

BURNS, ADA “Jackie” (Kronebusch), 86, of Arnold, MO passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, January 9, 2016. Jackie was the loving wife of the late Arthur Burns.

She was preceded in death by her brothers Fred Kronebusch, Harlan Kronebusch, Raymond Kronebusch, Bill Kronebusch and Eugene Kronebusch.

Ada (Jackie) had a zest for life. She worked hard and was very independent. She worked for both Ramada Inn and Stratford House as a convention coordinator. She was an innovator developing some of the first service packages for weddings and receptions. She was very devoted to her church, St John’s Lutheran in Arnold and a member of the Ladies Aid and Quilters & Tackers there. She also volunteered so much of her time over the years to help her church, the members and the community. As a devoted, caring wife, mother and grandmother, there was nothing she wouldn’t do or sacrifice for her family. She will be missed dearly.
