Wilton Chester Burrows' Obituary
Wilton Chester Burrows went triumphantly into the arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on June 19, 2012. He was born on September 15, 1923 in Cedar Valley, TX to Charles and Sadie Burrows. He is survived by his dedicated and loving wife, Ruth Burrows, children Norma (Glen) Hatcher, Jerry (Deborah) Burrows, Brenda (Louis) McAnally, David (Karen) Burrows , Don Burrows, grandchildren Stephen and Scott Hatcher, Sherri Brummett, Chelsea and Tyler McAnally, Dane, Kyle and Zachary Burrows, Brittany and Brandon Burrows and 8 great-grandchildren. Wilton was a member of Casa Linda United Methodist Church, where he was very active. He enjoyed fishing and spent many hours with his family at the lake. He also loved supporting his grandchildren and spent many hours at their events such as football, band performances and the Lake Highlands softball and baseball teams where he made many friends through the years. Wilton was the owner of Pat’s Donuts in Carrollton, TX and passed his talents to his sons. He made many life-long friends through his profession. Pat’s Donuts was not only his occupation but it was also an outlet for his generous heart. Wilton always had a hug to give whether he was at home, church, Wal-Mart or the doctor’s office. A constant through his life was that he took time to get to know those that God brought into his life and make their day brighter. The family will receive friends on Friday evening from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. at Restland Funeral Home. The funeral service will be held at Restland Wildwood Chapel on Saturday, June 23, 2012 at 10:00 a.m.
