Marcia A. Burns
Born February 10, 1944
Marcia Anne Burns, age 72, of Newark, DE, passed away peacefully in her home on Thursday, May 26, 2016.
A lifelong Delawarean, Marcia was born in Wilmington on February 10, 1944, and was a daughter of the late Joseph, Jr. and Hattie (Brzoska) Balinski. Marcia graduated from Newark High School in 1962.

Burns IV and Maddison Anne and Jenna May Boswell; siblings, Joseph Balinski III, Sandra Garrett and Susan Balinski; and her faithful canine companion, Bailey.
The Family would like to acknowledge and thank Thomas Burns for his lifelong commitment to his mother’s care during her illness. Special thanks to Seasons Hospice Aides and Nurses.
