Donna L. Burney, 83, passed away unexpectedly on August 15, 2020, in Pueblo, Colo. Born July 3, 1937, in Pueblo, to Kenneth and Maxine McTavish, who preceded her along with her beloved husband of 22 years, Bill J. Burney. Loving mother of sons, Keith (Peggy) Matic, Kevin Matic, Kenneth (Jennifer) Matic; and loving stepmother of Michael (Dana) Burney, Leslie Stuart, and Kelly Sporich. Proud grandmother of Kathleen (Taylor) Snyder, Valerie Matic, Adam Grinstead, Molly Matic, Shelby, Tess and Rachel Burney, Paige George, Sydney George, and Kyle Stuart. Great grandmother, affectionately known as “GG”, of Gunner Litton and Scarlett Snyder. Dear sister of Sharon (Gary) Bryson and Jack (Pat) McTavish. Loved and adored by her nieces and nephews. Donna was a graduate of Central High School, class of 1955. She retired from Qual-Med after many dedicated years of service in the health insurance industry. Donna was a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles Auxiliary #145, and she loved volunteering at their annual Children’s Christmas Shopping Spree. She enjoyed tending to her beautiful flowers and yard, feeding her hummingbirds, travelling the coasts and Mexico with her husband, and enthusiastically cheering on her Denver Broncos every season. Most of all, she treasured her family and embraced every moment shared with them, especially on Christmas Eve.

I’m so so sorry for this loss. Donna was a bright light in this world. She loved her sons and grandchildren with all her heart. She loved my father deeply and he loved her just a bit more. I’m grateful to have spent some time with her a few years ago while traveling through Pueblo. May you light shine on sweet lady. I love you. Kelly
Our sad condolences to her sons and grandchildren. Donna was a lovely woman. A woman who loved my dad deeply and my dad loved her just that much more. I’m grateful to have spent time with her two years ago for lunch while going through Pueblo. Just a joy of a person. I love you Donna.
Mike Burney, Donna’s step-son. God bless you Donna. You were always so loving to me and my family. I will miss your kind heart, happy outlook, and support.
With love,
Mike, Dana, Shelby, Tess and Rachel.
One of the fun gals in our Central High. I remember Donna.
Letting people know about her is wonderful and recalls long ago friends.
So sorry for your loss. I was a classmate of Donna’s Central 1955. She was such a beautiful person. Odd to find out that we had the same birthdate. God bless you all. Anna Marie Heddleston Wheeler
My condolences to the entire family. Knowing Donna and sharing all the fun adventures and many great memories has been one of life’s great pleasures. I will miss my dear friend.
