Margaret was born on August 3, 1932, in Oneonta, Alabama to the late Walter and Ora Willar Cain. She is also preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, James Earl Burnett.

Margaret was affectionately known by her family and loved ones as “Nanny” and “Old Goat” to Artie. She enjoyed playing bingo and taking golf cart rides. She cheered hard for her Auburn Tigers and the Atlanta Braves. Family was her pride and joy, her favorite memories were created by spending time with her daughters and grandchildren.
