VIVIAN MARILYN DEAL BURNETTE

Vivian Marilyn Deal Burnette, 91, passed away on the morning of Saturday, June 27, 2020.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years, Donald Burnette; parents, Charlie and Verna West Deal. Also preceded in death by her brothers, Braxton Deal and Samuel Deal; sister, Ethel Hurley, and nephew, Gene Hurley.

She is survived by her sons, David (Dave) Burnette (Jana) of Gloucester, Steven Burnette (Joice) of Mathews; grandchildren, Sarah Sweet (Michael) of Suffolk, Paul Burnette of Mathews, Leslie Blanks (David) of Mathews, Ryan Hogge (Allison) of St. Johns, Florida; five great-grandchildren; sister-in-law, Delorese Robins of Richmond, and many lifelong neighbors and friends she loved dearly.

She was a lifelong resident of Gloucester, spending many years as a beautician at The Old Village Beauty Shop and Sanders Nursing Home. In her later years, she made hair cutting/beautician house calls. She never missed an opportunity to get her scissors and comb in a head of hair she felt needed her attention. She loved her church, her family, bowling, yard sales, playing cards, Bingo, canning, baking cakes, crabbing, and gardening. She was a lovely lady who rarely met a stranger. She will forever be missed and live on in our hearts and memories. God has gained another angel. Rest in peace, Mom.

A special thank-you to her caregivers at Riverside Convalescent Center, Saluda.

A graveside service will be held at Severn Church, Naxera, on Monday, July 6, 2020, at 10 a.m. Services will be conducted by the Rev. Bill West.
