RIDGELAND — Elaine Burkett, 64, of Natchez, died Thursday, July 20, 2017, after lengthy illness at Baptist Hospital in Jackson.

Mrs. Burkett was born August 8, 1952, in Shreveport, the daughter of Nip and Evelyn Burkett.

Services were entrusted to Sebrell Funeral Home.

She was a wonderful person, who lived her life to the fullest.  She had a charismatic personality and made people laugh and feel loved.  She was a strong-willed lady who blazed her own path and never forgot to help others along their way.  She will be sadly missed and always remembered.

To all those left behind, there will be an empty space in our hearts as heaven has been enriched and it just became a more beautiful place.

Mrs. Burkett was preceded in death by her parents; one sister, Vickie Johnson of Natchez; and one brother, Terry Burkett of Baton Rouge.

She is survived by one sister, Sherry Valentine of Natchez; niece, Sandi Brewer of Natchez; two nephews, Chris Johnson and wife, Amy, of Natchez and Bryce Burkett of Houston; two great nieces, Lauren Johnson of Natchez and Caroline Burkett of Houston; two great nephews, Stephen Brewer of Pearl and Brandon Wallace of Natchez; and one godson, Justin Cupstid of Pearl; and a number of close and loving friends.
