AUDREY BURTT's Obituary
ELKO –
Audrey Ruth Loggins Burtt, 64, passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 17, 2021, after a brief illness. A private Graveside Service for the family will be held on Friday, January 22, 2021, in Browndale Cemetery.
Audrey was born in Hawkinsville and graduated from The Westfield School in 1975. She graduated from Middle Georgia College with an Associate’s Degree and from Emory University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing. While attending school in Atlanta, Audrey met the love of her life, Bob Burtt, but he soon returned to this U.S. Navy duties. A short six months later, he was honorably discharged and the two were married right away. Audrey worked as a Radiology Technician until she accepted a position as a Registered Nurse. Her nursing career was divided among various hospitals and nursing homes throughout middle Georgia. After twenty years of devoting her time to caring for others, Audrey retired. She worked hard to create a loving and welcoming environment in her home for her children and grandchildren. While she enjoyed sewing and was very good at knitting and crocheting, Audrey began to do small embroidery projects and sell them online. As the demands for her work grew, so did the small business that she created at home with her husband, Bob. The couple decided to find a local shop in which to house their embroidery equipment and make a store front for Designable Threads that they have now had for twenty years. Audrey and Bob were a team, making ideas and designs come to life for their customers and friends. Audrey was a member of County Line Baptist Church.
Left to cherish the memories they made with Audrey are her loving and devoted husband of forty-three years, Bob Burtt of Elko; her children, Rob Burtt of Perry, Ryan Burtt (Ashley) of Pelham, and Kimberly Burtt Harris (Joel) of Perry; her precious grandchildren who lovingly referred to her as “Granny B,” Austin Burtt, Natalie Burtt, Patrick Burtt, and Anna Kate Burtt; and her mother, Ruth Loggins of Elko. She was preceded in death by her father, Felton Loggins.
