Jeanette Louise Burns
March 16, 1975 - September 20, 2018
Born in Oak Harbor, Washington
Resided in Portland, Oregos
On September 20th, 2018, Jeanette Louise Burns- age 43, while surrounded by her loving husband (and their dog) at their home, suddenly left this earth to worship at the feet of our Lord Jesus in Heaven. Even as we grieve, we know that she is smiling down on us, and our hearts are filled with the warmth of her loving memory.
Jeanette was born on March 16th, 1975 in Oak Harbor, WA. She moved often as a young adult, living in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Massachusetts, and then back to Washington where she met her dear husband, David, in 2008. They were married on May 1st, 2010 in Tacoma’s beautiful Point Defiance Park -- the very same place where they had their first date. She then lived with her husband in Portland, OR where she loved her life as a "city-girl".
Jeanette had a passion for loving and teaching children. Often referred to as "Mary Poppins" by the families she worked with, she cared for and loved these children as if they were her own. She was also a volunteer advocate for court cases involving children. She loved to fill the details of anything she planned with symbolism, intention, and care.
Jeanette is survived by her dear husband, David Burns, her dog-child, Asimov, her mother and step father, Ken and Janet Mann and her Father Jackie Barrett, her brother Jeremy and his wife Angie Barrett, step brothers - Shawn and Alicia Mann, Kyle and Darbi Mann, and step sister - Megan and Sam Howat. She will be greatly missed by all of her nieces and nephews whom she loved: Kalysta (Kalli) Barrett, Jeremiah (Myah) Barrett, Treasure (Tessa) Barrett, Mary Lite, Darby Lite, Elise Mann, Evelynn Mann, Elijah Mann, Oliver Mann, Moli Rose Mann, Greta Mann, Kelsey Stealey, and Daniel Stealey, along with her very large extended family of uncles aunts, and cousins.
She is also survived by all of her many adopted family members (of whom there are too many to list.) She was always collecting more family wherever she went. She truly was a "kind-hearted" woman: a safe-place to be yourself. Seeking to love those around her on a level of deep intention you don't often find. An encouraging, caring, thoughtful, crazy, adventurous daughter of God. She was a voracious reader, proud geek, and loving wife. We look forward to the day when we will see her again in Heaven.

A plot was selected adjacent to the road marked for bicycles through the cemetery, and across from a section of children's graves. This seemed very fitting of who Jeanette was and who she and David tried to be as a couple.
A favorite quote of Jeanette’s:
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes ‘Awww!’ ” - Jack Kerouac "On The Road".
