Larger memorial image loading...Mildred Maxine Burnett
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Mildred Maxine Burnett, 93, who left this life to be in the arms of her Heavenly Father on Wednesday, October 25, 2023. She passed peacefully in her sleep at home in Newport News, Virginia.
She was born in the small town of Viper, Kentucky, located in Perry County, on May 18, 1930.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Wrex and Essie Evans, all her siblings (Amel, Sybil, Frieda, LaVerne), and two husbands, W.L. Burnett and Les Hicks.
Mildred is survived by eight children: Maurine Frank, Lynne Jenkins (Dennis), Michael Burnett (Suzy), Ronald Burnett, Regina Burnett, Loretta Watson (Donnie), Eula Parks (Garry), Aldea Young (Jim); 15 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren, two great-great-grandchildren; her niece Kim Moore Wilder; and many close family friends.
She was called Mother, Mildred, Maxine, Grandmother, and Mrs. B, and she led a full life devoted to God, her family, friends, and church. She will live in our hearts forever, and we will never forget her laughter and the positive difference she made in so many people's lives.
May we all be inspired by the life she lived, the love she shared, and the unwavering faith in God which she shared with so many.
Instead of flowers or donations, please share a memory or act with the family that made an impression in your life.
Thank you to Medi Home Health & Hospice for your care and Peninsula Funeral Home for her final care.

William Lathan “Bill” Burnett NEW KENT COUNTY - Burnett, William Lathan "Bill" passed away peacefully from this life on May 30, 2013. Born in 1925 in Meadows of Dan, Virginia, he was a long time resident of the Peninsula. This last year of his life he made his home in New Kent County. For years he was known as one of the best automobile mechanics in the area. He was also an avid fisherman and hunter. He received an honor for the longest continual membership in the Toano Hunt Club. An excellent cook and gardener, he gave away almost all of what he grew, and he was revered for his mashed potatoes and grilled BBQ chicken. His greatest love was his family. He is survived by eight children, Maurine Frank, Lynne Jenkins and her husband, Dennis, Mike Burnett and his wife, Susie, Ronald Burnett, Regina Bowery and her husband, Michael, Loretta Watson and her husband, Donnie, Eula Faye Parks and her husband, Gary, and Aldea Young and her husband, Jim, as well as thirteen grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren. Bill was a good man, always putting others first and ready to lend a hand whenever needed. So please, save your flowers. Instead, make a donation to your local food bank or do kindness or a good deed specifically in his name. A Memorial Service will be held at Peninsula Funeral Home on Sunday, June 2, at 4:00 p.m. His remains will rest in the Burnett Family Cemetery in Meadows of Dan.
