Eunice H. Burdette

Eunice H. Burdette, 96, formerly from Winter Haven, FL, and Concord, passed away peacefully on June 11, 2024, with her daughter holding her hand after a short illness.

Born in St. Johnsbury, VT, on July 13, 1927, to William D. Hubbard and Irene Hubbard (Merchant), she grew up in North Danville and graduated from St. Johnsbury Academy. 

Eunice married Gordon L. Burdette on May 9, 1949, together raising four children before his passing in 2003 after 54 years of marriage. She worked for many years at Mckerley Nursing Home greeting visitors with her warm, beautiful smile. Family was everything to her and, as the family matriarch, she gently nurtured her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren every chance she got.

Eunice is survived by her daughter, Eileen B. Corbett of Concord and Simpsonville, SC, and husband Bruce Corbett, and daughter-in-law Jeanne Burdette of Whitefield, NH. She is also survived by seven grandchildren, seventeen great-grandchildren, and several great-great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. She was predeceased by many including three of her four children: Michael R. Burdette (1995), Paul G. Burdette (April 2022), Sharon B. Lupien (July 2022) and her husband Hank Lupien (January 2024).
