Linda Ann (DeMassi) Burton

Linda Ann Burton was born on March 7th, 1951, in Auburn, NY. She was lovingly raised by her parents, Frank and Rose DeMassi, alongside her siblings Michael, Mary Ann, Sharon, and Frank. Linda's childhood was filled with love in a nurturing Catholic home.

The course of Linda's life changed when she crossed paths with the love of her life, Henry Michael (Mick) Burton, from Jordan, NY, over 50 years ago. For most of her life, Linda resided in Elbridge, NY, where she raised her two sons, Henry Michael (Mike) Burton II and Jon Justin Burton. Linda was most proud of Mike playing football for Colgate University and Jon playing lacrosse for the United States Military Academy. She bore the weight and sacrifice of her two sons serving in the military who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.  

Grace personified Linda. Her home was a haven of warmth, her smile radiated brightness, and her laughter echoed joy throughout the room. Linda had a fondness for enjoying a glass of wine, listening to Italian music while making sauce on pasta Sundays, finding solace in cleaning her home to the tunes of oldies music, and unconditionally loving her husband, children, her daughter-in-law (Terri Burton), grandchildren (Oliver and Charlie Burton), extended family, and friends with a genuine affection that resonated authentically with all who knew her.

Linda leaves behind a trail of cherished memories that will forever be treasured by those fortunate enough to have shared in her life. She was blessed with many close friends who will miss her generosity, advice, kindness, and compassion. Linda moved to Florida to enjoy her retirement with Mick and peacefully passed away on May 22nd, 2023, surrounded by her loving family.

Her services will be held on Saturday, June 3rd, 2023 with visitation in the church from 8:30AM-10:00AM. The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by Rev. John DeLorenzo, her close friend, at 10:00AM at St. Patrick’s Church, 28 North Main Street, Jordan, N.Y. Linda was a devout Catholic, a longtime faithful parishioner of St. Patrick's Church. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in her honor to: St. Patrick's Church, Window Restoration Fund: St. Patrick's Church, P.O. Box 567, Jordan NY 13080.

May the good Lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
Surround you when you're far from home
