Connie (Barbour) Burns
Richford, VT – On August 30th, 2021, Connie passed away after a long courageous battle with cancer with her family by her side.
Connie was a true matriarch of her family; an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, co-worker, and friend. To know her was to know what love is. John 15:13 says, There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for another. Connie showed this love every day of her life to anyone who came across her path, especially her family.
Connie is survived by her husband, Donald Burns; her daughters Debbie Burns and Kelly Salisbury and her husband Mark; her grandchildren, Lynne Airoldi and her husband Josh, Jim Duffy and his wife Janet, Seth Goodhue and his wife Jenny, Lea Burns and her partner Cory Johnson, Bailey Eldridge and her husband Conner; her great-grandchildren, Sydney, Emily, and Camille Airoldi, Mykenzie Duffy, Tyson Robitaille, and Stella Eldridge. She is also survived by her brothers, Jeffery Barbour and his wife Julie, and Brian Barbour; her sisters-in-law Edith Fiske and Lorraine Tracy. Connie leaves her special sister-friend Avis Gervais; and many nieces, nephews, and close friends whom she considered family.
Besides her parents, Silvy and Hattie Barbour, Connie is predeceased by her sons Michael and Timmy Burns, her grandson, Nathan Burns, and her brother Donnie Barbour.
Connie was loved fiercely and she was fiercely loved. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
At Connie’s request a private family service will be held at the family’s discretion.
