Delena Faye Burton, 76, of Campbellsville, KY, daughter of the late Linus Bright and Avis (England) Bright was born in Taylor County on January 29, 1945 and departed this life peacefully on Saturday, March 19th, 2021 at her home in Campbellsville.

She was united in marriage on December 27, 1963 to Jerry Dale Burton, who preceded her in death on June 7, 1998.

Faye professed faith in Christ and was a member of the Feathersburg Church of God. She loved to garden in her spare time. Faye lived and found true joy in cooking and baking for family and friends. She loved spending time with family, especially the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was always there whenever needed; she truly possessed a “servant’s heart”. She worked at Fruit of the Loom and retired after 30 years. Ms. Burton was not one to remain idle, so she went on to work another 11 years for the Taylor County School System and subsequently retired.

Besides her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by 2 sisters: Doris Jean Wilson and Lorena Brockman.
