She was born February 22, 1931 to JG Craft and Carrie Craft in Whitehouse, TX. as another member of a large family during the great depression and into World War II. She and her brothers and sister wound up in Boles Home in Quinlan, Texas after her mother passed away when she was 11 years old. While at Boles Home, she met and eventually married her husband Tommy Burch, she was blessed with a long life filled with family, friends, love, laughter and shared many stories about her life during her visits.
She enjoyed watching John Wayne movies and loved fresh buttermilk from the dairy with some cornbread. She was convinced that greased lightning spray would clean anything. She was deeply loved by all and will be greatly missed by anyone that knew her.
