Burial will follow in Fairview Cemetery under the direction of Carmichael-Whatley Funeral Directors.   Donna was born on September 4, 1932 in Amarillo to LaVerna and Grover Milton Brunnier. She graduated from Groom High School and married Dean H. Burger on June 7, 1948. They made their home for over 50 years on the Lazy 11 Ranch south of Pampa where they farmed and ranched. They were happily married for 64 years.   Mrs. Burger was a member of the Brethren Church and also the First United Methodist Church in Pampa, and she was very active and a faithful servant to the Lord.

She was a volunteer at the Reach to Recovery for breast cancer survivors, was active in The Prayer Shawl Ministry and The Moon and Star Glass Club.   Donna loved to cook and sew and was famous for her cinnamon rolls, noodles and sweet pickles.
