Kay Sharon Burgmann

Mrs. Burgmann proudly served her country in the United States Army as an OB Nurse. Upon discharge, she continued her career as an OB nurse, eventually providing care to chemically dependent patients. Her attributes as a caring and selfless nurse, carried over into her personal life. She was a loving mother and grandmother, who absolutely adored her four grandsons and was the “adopted” mother and grandmother to many other family members and friends. She was a member of the First Baptist Church and the Order of the Eastern Star, both in O’Fallon. She was an avid crafter, creating mosaic art, which highlighted her patience and caring nature. She will truly be missed by all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Walter S. Burgmann; and her parents, Moultie and Wilma, nee Hunter, Powers.

Surviving are her two sons, Jay (Betty) Burgmann and Jon (Michelle) Burgmann, both of O’Fallon, Illinois; her four grandsons, Tristan, Joshua, Samuel, and Jacob; her brothers, Tom (Barbara) Powers, of Las Cruces, New Mexico and Boley (Sandra) Powers, of Hot Springs, Arkansas; a step brother, David Powers; “adopted” mother and grandmother to, Bobbie Moriarity, Courtney Dietrich, Chloe and Cian Moriarity; and many other relatives and friends.
