Obituary For Lemar Burt

Lemar Burt, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle, cousin, and friend was born August 3, 1932 in Kosciusko, MS. He was the eldest son of the late Hosey “Doc” Burt and Bessie Nash Burt.

On August 5, 1977 Lemar married Helen Vashti Williamson. They were married for 46 years and to this union, one child was born.

At an early age, he joined Palestine Missionary Baptist Church in Kosciusko. He was later baptized as one of Jehovah's Witness during the 1970's where he spent time doing personal Bible study and building a relationship with Jehovah. He served as an elder and field overseer for congregations in Milwaukee, WI and Carthage, MS.

Lemar received his formal education in the Attala County Public School System. As a young man, he moved to Milwaukee and worked for two major breweries – (Schlitz Brewing Co. and Miller Brewing Co.). He also worked for the Milwaukee Public School System. In 1995, he retired and moved back home to Kosciusko to help his beloved sister Allie D. as a unified caretaker for their mother and a bus driver for the Attala County School District.

Lemar died peacefully at his home in Kosciusko on July 12, 2024, at 91. He was surrounded by his family: wife (Helen), daughter (Valeri) and grandchildren (Lamora, KJ and Kaiden).
