Patricia Ann (McCubbins) Burden, age 84, of Tipton, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Thursday, April 2, 2020. Patricia was born on June 3, 1935 to her parents, Raymond McCubbins & Lucille (Webb) McCubbins.
Pat married Charles “Sonny” Burden on April 14, 1957 and the two of them enjoyed 45 years of marriage before Sonny passed away August 21, 2002.
Pat was definitely a career driven woman, dedicated to education and its importance. However, through the years that did not stop her from being present in many other important areas of life.
Pat also made time to be a part of Eastern Star, and several sororities that were all meant to better the community she lived in. She also served on the Tipton Community School Board. Even after retirement she remained faithful to her commitments. She even took on the role as president of the Indiana Retired Teachers Association.
Pat had the rare ability to motivate not only the children she taught, but also her family, friends and colleagues to do their best and work hard to achieve excellence. Pat Burden impacted many during her lifetime. For her family, she has left a legacy of love, care and compassion that they will proudly carry on. For her friends and colleagues, she has left behind an amazing example of what a passionate, dedicated, teacher’s heart should look like. Pat Burden “Mrs. Burden” will be so greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Those left to carry on Pat’s legacy of love are her son, Scott Burden; sister, Darlene (Bill) Rubush; Cousins, Cindy Rubush and Resa Rubush; and several nieces and nephews.
