Terrance Burns, 81
Terrence Burns, 81, of Lansing, passed away Aug. 10, 2020. Terry was born 
April 5, 1939, to Joe & Eve (Welch) Burns in Hubbardston, Mi, joining a large 
family with six brothers and sisters. Terry graduated from St. John the 
Baptist high school, during which he met Mary Ellen Simon from Pewamo, MI, 
and they married on Jan. 10, 1959. After High School, Terry served four years 
in the Air Force, including a tour in France, where their son Joe was born. 
Terry was an intellectually curious, life-long learner. He graduated from 
Lansing Community College and completed several years of coursework at 
Michigan State University. Terry was a dedicated Spartan fan, but also 
supported his grandchildren by cheering for Norte Dame, Appalachian State and 
even U. of M. Terry held several positions for the state of Michigan, 
including many years as Treasurer of the Michigan Veterans Trust Fund. He 
enjoyed camping with family, sailing, traveling, good conversation, spending 
time with his  grandchildren and extended family, sipping evening martinis, 
and Mary Ellen's cooking. He was an avid reader and provided frequent 
commentary on FaceBook. Terry will be greatly missed by his family; Mary 
Ellen, his wife of 61 years; two children, Joe (Patti Brissette) Burns of Ann 
Arbor, MI and Jacqui Burns (Chuck) Wahl of Muskegon, MI; five grandchildren, 
Marissa Wahl (Joe) Huffman of Cincinnati, OH, Ian Burns of Ann Arbor, MI, 
Caley Wahl of Charlotte, NC, Margaret Burns and Zachary Burns both of San 
Diego, CA; one great-grandchild, Natalie Huffman; his surviving brothers and 
sisters; John (Shirley) Burns, Charlene (Bernie) Ward and Katie (Bob) Cashen; 
numerous in-laws, nieces and nephews.

A funeral Mass will be held at St. Mary's student Parish (Ann Arbor, MI) for 
the immediate family only due to COVID protocols.

If you wish to make a donation in his memory, please select a charity of your 
choosing.
