The couple would eventually move to Dumas where they would raise their children and make their home. Ilaree was a very hard working woman. She always worked multiple jobs but made sure the laundry was always done and the family always had a home cooked meal on the table. In her later years she loved to watch Matlock, Judge Judy and always had candy bowls full for the family. She was a member of the Hunt United Methodist Church. In addition to her husband, Ilaree is preceded in death by her parents; her two sons: Roger Keith Burton and Kerry Van Burton; two brothers and two sisters. She is survived by her daughter Klonda Anderson and companion Ronnie Hickman of Dumas; grandchildren: Tyson James Burton, Kylee Burton, Keri Lyn Swimmer, Kassie Bonner and husband Donald and Kammie Hanna and husband Shane; 10 great grandchildren and 3 great great grandchildren. The family would like to express their gratitude and appreciation for the excellent care given to Ilaree by the staff at Great Plains Nursing and Rehab and Memorial Hospice.
