She was born April 20, 1932 in Brandon, Mississippi. She married Chalmer B. Holder on September 29, 1953. Sadly, he was killed during an on-the-job accident on January 11, 1974. Later, in 1991, she remarried to James O. Burns.

Her greatest joy was her family. She was well-known for her endless energy and drive to get things done. Known also for her excellent cooking, she hosted many family gatherings and celebrations. She also loved working in her yard, and her yard was often the recipient of Yard of the Month.

As a long-time member of the United Methodist Church in Dickinson, Texas, she spent much of her time volunteering.
