In Memoriam: Ms. Ann McCreary Burns (January 30, 1934 - March 11, 2005) 

The family of Ms. Ann McCreary Burns informed us that Ann passed away on March 11, 2005 at home in Encinitas, CA. She passed very peacefully and in a manner befitting the way she lived life--surrounded by family and friends. Many of us in Peace Corps know Ms. Ann McCreary Burns as the wife of Jack Burns who was on Peace Corps/India staff in the late 60s. Ann was a tremendous support to the young and no-so-young Peace Corps Volunteers serving at that time. 

After leaving India in 1970 she and her family moved to Boston, MA. And then to Cleveland Heights, OH where Ann began a career in real estate. 

In 1981, the family relocated to San Diego, CA where Ann continued her career in real estate and began a second career in residential interior design. She remained in contact with many of her India friends over the years.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Mrs. Burns...I knew her when she was in India. I was only there for one year; however, her daughter Jackie and I were very good friends. I would like to reconnect with Jackie and was hoping to be able to contact her through this posting.
