Lisa Anne Burton

Lisa Anne Burton, 67 of Lula passed away Saturday September 13, 2025, at her residence surrounded by her loving family.

Lisa Anne Burton, daughter of Porter B Scott and Lois D. (Jackson) Scott was born in Jellico, Tennessee on September 5th, 1958. From Tennessee, she moved out west, spending the next 9 years in Northern California before her family eventually settled in Sugar Hill, Georgia. Lisa attended North Gwinnett High School and during that time, she met the love of her life, Philip Burton of Norcross, Georgia.  The two dated while Lisa completed nursing school, obtaining her nursing degree from Georgia Baptist School of Nursing in Atlanta. She and Philip married in 1979 and spent over 46 years building a life and raising two amazing children: Cliff Burton and Andrea (Burton) Olsommer.  She poured her heart and soul into her family. She was always the first in line to volunteer to help at their school and cheer them on in all their endeavors. Later in life, she welcomed daughter-in-law Ellie, and son-in-law, Steven to the family along with two grandchildren, Liam and Maggie, that affectionately called her “Nana.”  

In addition to her love for family, Lisa was a fabulous cook, creative crafter, and lover of nature and gardening. She often admired and studied the deer and birds who visited her backyard, giving them a name, and making sure they never went hungry. Lisa’s life was marked by years of service in healthcare and volunteering with organizations such as My Sisters Place, Habersham Library and Habersham’s Meals on Wheels to name a few. She lived to see the light in those she loved and took advantage of every opportunity she had to make others feel special. While her illness made these last few years tough, she was never bitter or angry about her circumstances, rather she made the most out of the time she was given.

Lisa is survived by her husband, Philip; her children, Cliff (Ellie) Burton and Andrea (Steven) Olsommer; her grandchildren, Liam and Maggie; and dear family and friends who will miss her deeply. She was preceded in death by her parents, Porter and Lois Scott.

Her legacy is one of love, laughter, and quiet strength. She taught those around her the value of family, the joy of creating with your hands, and the peace that can be found in the natural world.

Though she may be gone from our sight, Lisa will remain forever in our hearts.
