Roxanna Lea Burns

October 21, 1962 –September 10, 2023

Roxanna Lea Combs Burns, 60, of Sikeston, MO passed away peacefully at Missouri Delta Medical Center after an extensive battle with her health on September 10, 2023.  She was surrounded by her loving family as she entered fully into the presence of the Lord.

Roxanna was born to the late Jimmie Dale and Marilyn Sue Whitchurch Combs on October 21, 1962, in Lamar, MO.  A beloved wife, mother, sister, aunt and gammy, she is survived by her husband, Kevin Burns of 30 years, her son and daughter-in-law, Jamie and Denise Woodard, two grandchildren, Lincoln and Quincey Woodard whom she loved dearly, as well as her faithful dogs, Nika and Chica.

Roxanna was the oldest of 4 sisters, Nyna Combs, Melissa Walters and Stephanie (Roy) Colwick.  She had several nieces and nephews, Tyler (Libby) Combs, Reid (Ashley) Walters, Ross Walters, Ainsley Colwick, Kensi Colwick, and a great-niece Kelsey Walters.

She was preceded in death by her parents and a nephew, Brody Walters.

Roxanna graduated from Matthews High School in Matthews, MO in 1981.  She had a great love for the medical field as she worked in many doctors' offices throughout the years.  She had the personality and natural charisma to make friends no matter the situation.  She was always willing to help no matter when or where.

Roxanna's biggest blessing and joy in her life was her son Jamie Ryan and her grandbabies, Lincoln and Quincey.  She was devoted to spending as much time as she could with them while making everlasting memories.  She enjoyed fishing, afternoon drives with no destination and walks with her dogs.  She loved a good game night and would challenge anyone to a competitive game of Yahtzee or rummy.  Weekends were spent with family enjoying barbeques and dinners.

A graveside service and celebration of life will be held at a later date.

McMikle Funeral Home of Sikeston in charge of arrangements.
