Virginia "Jenny" Burton of Saint Louis, Missouri passed away on Saturday, January 2, 2021.
Jenny is survived by her husband - Richard Burton, sons - Stephen McVicker, Eric (Stacy) McVicker, daughter - Melissa (Peter II) Oprisko, brother - Stephen Vanek Jr., sisters - Antoinette Long, Frances O'Hosky, Violet Shell, Iris (Ed) Taber, and grandchildren - Audrey McVicker, Solveig McVicker, Peter Oprisko III.
Jenny was preceded in death by her parents - Stephen and Frances Vanek.
She was a 1963 graduate of Birch Tree High School and received an associates degree from Sanford Brown Business School. She was a dedicated customer service representative for numerous companies spanning several decades and ultimately retired from Elsevier Publishers.
An ardent Elvis fan, Jenny was also a loving parent who treasured her family above everything else. Grandma Jenny or "GiGi", as she was fondly known, often doted upon her grandchildren and was generously devoted to all aspects of their lives. She was a skilled seamstress who delighted in creating custom mementos such as handmade Christmas stockings and quilts. Ever the avid gardener and chef, she was an excellent cook who used her expertise and homegrown vegetables to create unforgettably delicious culinary creations for any and all in need. She attended church regularly and volunteered with many civic organizations.
Her small town charm and warm smile combined with her strong faith, spirit, sense of duty and compassion for others attracted many life-long friends and admirers and made her a wonderful role model for all women. She fought valiantly and passed peacefully, surrounded by her family and is now resting in the loving arms of her Savior and God. Mom will be missed terribly by us and all who knew her.
A private service, for immediate family, will be held at Paul Funeral Home in St. Charles, MO on Tuesday, January 5th. Burial will be at Greenlawn Cemetery in Mountain View, MO on Wednesday, January 6th at 2pm. All are welcome to attend (following COVID guidelines).
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Jenny's name to Franciscan Friars of the Atonement.
