MarMae Burch

July 19, 1928 ~ December 12, 2017

On December 13th, 2017, our beloved mother and friend, MarMae Burch went back to God and on to new adventures. MarMae is lovingly remembered by her 3 children and their spouses: son, Daniel Burch and Priscilla, son, Bob Burch and Julie, and daughter, Kathryn Johnson-Kozal and Chip. She leaves a living family tree of 16 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren. MarMae began her life in Aurora, IL where she grew up and graduated Valedictorian. Aurora is also where she met her high school sweetheart, A. Robert Burch; who became her best friend and husband for 60+ years. She went on to earn her Nursing Degree (with honors) from St. Luke's and years later her Master's at Western Theological Seminary. MarMae proudly served the Presbyterian church and multiple capacities for over 50 years. Her service included Commissioner at General Assembly, Church Educator, and most recently, Stated Clerk of Lake Michigan Presbytery for 15 years.
