Cora Burgess
October 10th, 1930 - April 19th, 2025
Cora Cluff Burgess was born on October 10, 1930, along with her twin brother Coran Cluff (d. 2014). She has 9 siblings, all of whom have preceded her in death. Cora grew up in Pima, Arizona and moved to Mesa after spending 1 year of college at NAU. She met Wallace L. Burgess in 1951, and they were sealed on August 4th of that year.
Cora enjoyed sewing and needlework (crocheting, knitting, needlepoint and cross stitch) very much until the last few years of her life. She also loved to work puzzles. Cora is a strong, faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her faith meant a lot to her.
She has served in many capacities throughout her life; she and Wally served a mission at the Family History Center in Mesa, AZ, which she really enjoyed.
She and Wallace (Wally) are the parents of 8 children--2 who preceded Cora in death, as well as Wally (d. 2017).
She leaves behind 26 grandchildren, 65 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild.
A graveside service will be held 10am, April 29, 2025, at Mesa City Cemetery.
