Elizabeth Burton
August 23, 1922 — January 1, 2018
Elizabeth S Burton, age 95, passed away on January 1, 2018 in Las Vegas, NV. She was born on August 23, 1922 to Evelyn and Robert Suhr in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania where she lived for 62 years. After retiring, she and husband Wade were snowbirds for 20 years, traveling between Boulder City, Nevada and Bath, New York. They moved permanently to Boulder City in 2004.
Elizabeth is of the Christian faith. She enjoyed traveling, reading, puzzles, bingo and buffets. She also loved to play cards and games with the family. Her greatest joys in life were her husband of 70 years, her children and son-in-law, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was known for her great wit and kind words. Family gatherings will not be the same. She will be greatly missed!
