MUNCIE--Constance Carlson Burt, 89, beloved by her family, passed away Sunday morning, June 24, 2012 at Morrison Woods Health Campus. Connie was born in Lafayette on January 27, 1923, the daughter of Alice (Bickett) and Helmar John Carlson. The family moved to Muncie in 1933 and she graduated from Muncie Central High School in 1941. Connie then attended Ball State College where she was introduced to her future husband, Frederick W. Burt. She traveled by train to Boston, Massachusetts where she married Fred on May 23, 1944 before her left to serve overseas in the Navy during World War II. They were wed for 62 years until his death in 2006. Fred and Connie were devoted to each other and set an example of love and faithfulness for their children and grandchildren. Connie was a charter member of the Royerton Homemakers Club, the RSL Club and, in the past, served on the Tuberculosis Association Board of Directors. In her life, she attended Eaton First Church of God and Eden Church. She found great strength and comfort in her faith. A favorite Bible verse was Isaiah 41:10. She had two sisters who preceded in her death, Catherine, an infant, and Ruth Gale Carlson. Survivors include her four children and spouses, Steve (Jan) Burt of Greenfield, Stan (Colleen) Burt of Carmel, Terri (Brad) Camp of North Manchester, and Stacey (Linda) Burt of Eaton. Also surviving are ten grandchildren, Chris and Craig (Emily) Burt, Andy, Rachel, Justin and Emily Burt, Ryan and Steven Camp, Jordan (Daniel) Vaughn and Jared Burt, and three great-grandchildren, Kale Burt, and Tanner and Ainsley Vaughn. Connie's greatest joy and pleasure came from the time she spent with her family. She loved to cook and care for her children and grandchildren. She found her purpose, not in being the center of attention, but in taking care of others. Her family is her legacy. We wish to thank Dee Reynolds and Jeannie Kirkwood who allowed her to remain independent and in her home. We also wish to express our appreciation to the loving and caring staff at Morrison Woods who helped us to fulfill our desire to care for our mother since February.
