Obituary for Virginia M. Burnett
Virginia Moore Burnett, 96, of Little Rock died Tuesday, April 4, 2023. The daughter of Joseph A. and Nora Patterson Moore, she was born October 11, 1926, in Russellville, Arkansas.
She married the love of her life, Heartsill, on November 18, 1950, and they enjoyed almost 67 years together until his death in 2017. They enjoyed life together and were rarely apart. She graduated from Pottsville High School where she played basketball. She always enjoyed watching Arkansas Razorback basketball. Her greatest pleasure was her family. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, and aunt. Virginia worked at AMF, Inc. for many years. She retired from the Arkansas Department of Human Services where she was a Purchasing Officer. She never met a stranger and was loved by all. It was always fun when she was involved - whether playing cards or any game, monthly Bunco games, shopping and family get togethers. She was a wonderful cook and her children and grandchildren always looked forward to a meal at her home. She enjoyed decorating her home and making it a place family and friends loved to come to. She had friends from many walks of life and treasured each and every one. She was a long-time member of Calvary Baptist Church in North Little Rock until she and Heartsill moved to Atkins, Arkansas in 2007. They attended Hopewell Baptist Church in Atkins.
She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; son-in-law Ronnie Lambert; brothers Ralph Moore and Dawson Moore; and sisters Viva J. (VJ) Bolin and Mary Maxine Ramsey.

Through Pam’s marriage to Ronnie, Virginia was blessed to have another family who loved her: Christy Trickey; Carrie (Scott) Richey, Joee (Christian) May and daughter Charlee, Betsy Richey, Cade Trickey and Cason Trickey all of Benton.
