HOLY CROSS, Iowa -- Mary Lynn (Burr) Berns, 67, of Holy Cross, was called home to heaven Sunday, Aug. 1, 2010, to be with her true love, Tony.
Service will be at 10 a.m. Monday, Aug. 9, at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Garnavillo, with the Rev. Daniel Knipper officiating. Burial will be in St. Joseph's Catholic Cemetery, Garnavillo. Friends may call from 4 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 8, at Tuecke-Allyn Funeral Home & Cremation Service, Guttenberg, where the rosary will be recited at 7:30 p.m.
She was born on Oct. 17, 1942, in Prairie du Chien Wis., daughter of Lonnie and Anita (Haupt) Burr. She graduated from St. Mary's School in Prairie du Chien, Wis., in 1960.
She married Anthony "Tony" Berns on Feb. 27, 1964, in Galena, Ill.; he preceded her in death. Together they had two children, Richard and Amy. Mary also loved and cherished her three stepchildren, Anne, Pat and Dan.
Being a homemaker and taking care of Tony was a full-time job for Mary, but she also managed to help run the office at Tony's 66 Station and she worked numerous jobs as well over the years.
Mary was a member of the Hospital Auxiliary in Guttenberg, the Rosary Society in North Buena Vista and she enjoyed gardening.
Her husband, children and grandchildren were the loves of her life. Mary always looked forward to each and every family get-together they had through the years. Her family was the inspiration to that smile she wore on her face that many of us will always remember her by.
She will be forever loved and cherished by her two children, Richard (Rashelle) Berns, of Phoenix, and Amy (Dan) Brandstetter, of Le Claire; three stepchildren, Anne (Bill) Bross, of Houston, Pat (Tom) Kriz, of Iowa City, and Dan (Merry) Berns, of Des Moines; 11 grandchildren; a great-grandchild on the way; five siblings, Jerry (Carol) Burr, of Saginaw, Mich., Julie Knueppel, of Onalaska, Wis., Connie Burr, of Sun Prairie, Wis., Bob Burr and Mike Burr, both of Prairie du Chien; her best friend, Karilyn Smith; and many nieces, nephews and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband and brother Butch.
