This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Martha Burns, 66, born on April 3, 1946 and passed away on September 24, 2012. We will remember her forever.
Martha passed away suddenly on Monday September 24, 2012 in Riverside, CA. She was born in Oklahoma and had lived in the Corona area for over 50 years. She is survived by her husband Bobby, and six children: Donald, Thomas, BobbyJr, Denise, Shawna and Stephanie. She was preceded in death by her infant daughter Sheila.
She touched many lives and eveyone's soul, her presence in the lives of her family and friends was a gift, that everone will always be thankful for.
Martha was a warm-hearted, sincere, loving person. Her personality was outgoing, outstanding and unforgetable. Her laugh and sense of humor alone made it worthwhile, just to know her.
She loved good food, well she liked food and socializing, enjoyed going to the casinos and being with her friends; her wonderful smile could light up a room.

I little knew that morning. God was going to call your name,
In life I loved you dearly, in death I do the same.
It broke my heart to loose you, you did not go alone,
for part of me went with you, the day God called you home.
You left me beautiful memories your love is still my guide,
and though we cannot see you, you're always at my side.
Our family chain is broken a
You just slowly learn how to go on without them...
But always keeping then tucked safely in you heart.
We will never forget and will always treasure our times together through the years.
The Lord took you quickly without long suffering and now you have joined your loved ones who passed before.
But to know that the legacy of Martha will be around for many years to come, she was well loved by friends and family alike.

this was when i first started to work at miscelles. mischelles at the time didnot have a liqour license, tracy ice and i , use to sneak dwn to the lounge for a shaker full of oatmeal cookies. martha was the first person to make and teach me how to make oatmeal cookies. they were the bomb! also i remember martha shooting pool with all the amatures, and dancing to ole black betty! to this day when i hear ole black betty, i think of martha dancing around the pool tables and doing tequila shots. she will forever be missed, she was one of the wisest women i know. love ya debbi
Martha Dancing Behind the Bar - Always made me smile
I am so sad..., she is the coolest woman I ever met in Corona,
I used to frequent the Lounge Back in 2001 - 2002 - daily. Martha Bartended on Weeknights and when it was slow Martha Taught me the Box Step. How cool is that! She never said a cross word to me. At the time most people that were around there - didn't like me ... I wasnt very friendly it seems, but if you know Martha you know she only saw and brought out the good in people. I cannot find the words right now - but there was much I should have told her.
I wanted to be just like her - I mean it - I still do.
If we could all give smiles as generously - and be as easy to be around as Martha - the world would be a better place. That is the Martha I knew.
My Condolences and deepest compassion to her family and all that knew and loved her, I feel you.....
Oh yes Martha.
my story of Martha was the love she had for her children. A large family and so much love. When James marred my sister Annette we alo gained the large Burns family. from mom and dad down to the all of the family. my memory of visiting in Maggies kitchen and vannie was there. Little did i know would be the last I would see of these sweet ladies. i love this site and know Martha would to. i lost my hubby John two years ago and I was happy he was able to meet some of the Burns clan thanks for letting me share this. sharon
