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.
