Beverly E. Burnett

Beverly Eleanor Lissenden Burnett, age 87, went to live with Jesus on Tuesday morning Oct 29th. She was surrounded by family and passed peacefully after a long illness.
She was born in Jersey City, October 10, 1932, the daughter of Raymond and Martha Lissenden. The family moved to Cranford when Beverly was 13 years of age where she went on to graduate from Cranford High School in 1950.
She married Lyle Burnett shortly after high school and moved to Ohio where Lyle was stationed in the Air Force. After discharge from the service, the couple moved back to Cranford where they have lived for the past 65 years. Beverly was a caring mother and friend who loved the New York Yankees, good food and time spent with family. Lyle and Beverly had just finished celebrating 67 years of marriage in September.
Survivors include her husband Lyle, their children, Kenneth Burnett, Kurt Burnett and Karen Burnett Dziurzynski along with the spouses Kimberly, Jayne and Michael. She is also survived by her six grandchildren Patrick, Jacqueline, Scott and Emily Burnett, Ashley Parson and Nicole Dziurzynski.
The family will be planning a memorial service 10;30 am Saturday November 23, 2019 in the Snyder Chapel of the First PresbyterianChurch of Cranford, to honor the life of a woman who was truly dedicated to her family, friends, neighbors and the Lord. May she rest in peace.
