Burkart, Elizabeth Ann, (Beth) passed away on May 21, 2010 at her daughter's home in Boynton beach, Florida after a short illness. She was 91 years old.
Beth and her late husband, Bob, moved to Blairsville in 1969, from florida along with their two youngest children. Bob purchased 47 acres of undeveloped land on Skeenah Gap Road, which he proceeded to develop over the years. Initially Bob lived in a tent, and then the family moved into a mobile home on site while he built their house. Bob put in a saw mill and produced lumber for sale and for his own use. He later worked as a building contractor and developer, purchasing other property in the area. Beth assisted him with the business, in addition to her volunteer work at the senior center where she served meals and helped to raise funds by quilt making and other crafts. A cedar log cabin, garden, trout ponds and outbuildings were added over the years. The property continues in use as a family retreat.
Beth and Bob were founding members of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic parish in Blairsville.
They were part of a small group of pioneer families who helped erect the original building, since replaced. They both remained active in the parish since its founding where Beth was known for her delicious desserts and Bob for his singing abilities. Bob died in 1994 and is buried in the St. Clare Memory Garden on the church grounds. Bob and Beth made many good friends in North Georgia who will remember them fondly.
