Obituary for Gwendolyn Ebert (Burton)
Cleburne, TX—Graveside services for Gwendolyn B. Ebert, 81, of Cleburne, Texas, will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 14, 2013, at the G.A. R. Cemetery in Miami, Oklahoma.
Gwendolyn was born on February 28th, 1932 in Birmingham, Alabama to Earl L. Burton and Norma C. Rathbone Burton. She loved riding horses and did so from an early age. Her love of all animals continued throughout her lifetime. She got her early education in Alabama, and then attended school in Kellyville, Oklahoma, eventually graduating from Miami High School in Miami, Oklahoma. She enjoyed playing in the band and made lifelong friends at MHS, then attended Southwest Baptist College in Bolivar, Missouri majoring in music. Shortly after their first date, Julius " Jerry" Ebert proposed and Gwen was married to the love of her life on August 16th, 1953 at the First Baptist Church in Miami. They had 4 children and lived in several states until settling down for retirement on a small farm in Fort Scott, Kansas. Gwen used her talents to accompany children's choirs and church services playing piano and organ and teaching organ lessons in Ft. Scott. She taught Sunday school many years, as well as Vacation Bible School. She was a member of First Southern Baptist Church in Fort Scott, Kansas where she was organist for several years. She loved talking with people of all ages and sharing her wisdom in the knowledge of the love of her Lord Jesus Christ. She was a dear friend to many and got pleasure in creating through painting, sewing, knitting, and all kinds of crafts and giving those creations as gifts.
Continually blessing others with her smile, Gwen spent her final years in Cleburne, arriving home with the Lord on Sunday, December 8th, 2013 following (by nearly 18 months) her beloved Jerry.
She is survived by her brother, Gene Burton, of Homewood, Alabama, her son, Jerry D. and wife, Becky, of Cleburne , and daughters, Linda Lamb and husband, Everett, of Leander, Texas, Ann O'Bannon and husband, Rod, of Shawnee Mound, Missouri, and Stephanie Farrell of Gardner, Kansas. Also, surviving are 13 grandchildren, three step grandchildren, seven great- grandchildren (plus one on the way) and one step great-grandchild.
Mama is HOME for Christmas.
