She was born Evelyn Constance Kanat on Aug. 6, 1922. Her middle name captures much of who she was: constant in her compassion for others; constant in her generosity; constant in her striving for a better society; constant in her friendships, and, perhaps most of all, constant in her devotion to family. Evelyn was the quieter one alongside her more loquacious and spirited husband, but she was the constant stalwart presence that handled the household day in and day out. With six children in the family, only a very confident mother would install white carpeting in the living room and only a strong one could have kept it clean, which she did. Throughout much of Evelyn’ s adult life she gave of her time and energy in many ways to the community. For her civic work in Huntington Woods, she was named the city’ s first Person of the Year. The Berkley School District honored her in a commendation that read in part, “ Although you have avoided the limelight, your impact has been tremendous. ” She was honored by the Multiple Sclerosis Society and the Weizmann Institute for her valuable contributions. She also volunteered for Hadassah of Detroit and the Oakland County court system, where she supervised visitations between parents and children. On Sept. 10, 1998, the U.S. Congress entered into the public record a tribute introduced by Rep. Sander Levin “congratulating Evelyn and Lester Burton, two private people who have untiringly promoted public welfare. ” As a mother, Evelyn did not wear her heart on her sleeve, but she showed her love by raising her children in the right way, immersing them in a life of enrichment and strong values. Ask any one of the children and you will hear, “We are all the better for it. ” Mrs. Burton was the beloved wife for nearly 60 years of the late Lester Sidney Burton; cherished mother of Eric (Lois Maharg) Burton, Lee (Roberta Shaw-Reeves) Burton, Tony (Jane) Burton, Peter (Sandi) Burton, Jody (Joe) Slowins and the late Tim Burton. She is also survived by her daughter-in-law, Carol Burton. She was the loving grandmother of Zoe (Aaron Bustamante) Burton, Owen Burton and Chris Burton; adored great-grandmother of Mateo Cruz Burton Bustamante; proud sister of Walter Kanat, the late Oscar Kanat, the late Marian Raskin, and the late Philip Kanat; devoted daughter of the late Peretz and the late Yetta Kanat.
