Carrie Burgess Pryor

Our precious mother and grandmother went to be with God on Thursday, December 1, 2011. She was born to Dillard and Ruth Burgess on October 28, 1942 in DeFuniak Springs. She was a seamstress by trade. Her greatest joy was her family and by the strength of her love and caring she was the glue that always kept the family together. According to the family they are left with a void they can never fill but will rest in their faith that she is watching over them. She is preceded in death by her parents, husband, Alfred, sisters, Vonnie Morrison, Vera Boles, her brothers Max Burgess, Ray Neal Burgess and James Bill Burgess and nephew Randy Burgess.
