Alethia Gay Burnett Blackwell
Native Daughter~Born on June 18, 1954; to Mr. and Mrs. Albert Burnett. Called back home June 22, 2007.
From Sãndí Abbo (Clark):
'Letha; the mother of Dwana, the wife of Judge, the sister of Brenda, Argie, and Shelton.
I called her friend.
She was my "down-the-street bud" in my teen years and adulthood.
When she entered the armed forces I couldn't believe it.
Turned out it was her chance for great personal growth.
I will forever remember her laughter and those rapidly moving eyes.
Much love. Tigers all the way!
From Vanessa Jones:
Alethia and I were childhood friends and neighbors.
After graduation Alethia served our country by joining the Army where she met and married her husband, and later had a daughter.
She and I lost contact with each other for several years until I was contacted and told she had passed.
RIP my friend.
