Obituary

Crystie Burns, 53, peacefully entered eternal rest at Unity Health in Searcy, Arkansas, with her daughter lovingly by her side. She was born on September 27, 1972, in Little Rock to Bruce and Patsy. In 1990, her mother married Mark Burrow, who became a loving father figure throughout Crystie's life. She grew up as the only daughter among five children.

Crystie attended Brinkley High School and later graduated from Searcy Beauty College, where she trained to become a hairdresser and worked in the profession for several years. She later became a server and bartender at Colton's Steakhouse in Searcy, a job she truly enjoyed.
Crystie was a loving, devoted and caring "Mama" to her two children, Jacob and Macayla. She met the love of her life, Scott Burns in 2020. They married on December 31, 2020 and although their time was cut short, their love never prevailed.

She enjoyed many hobbies, including fishing, camping, attending horse races, riding side-by-sides, and spending time at the beach and the lake. She had a deep love for music and dancing and was always ready for a good time. Anyone who knew Crystie knew she was the life of the party wherever she went. She especially loved being outdoors, admiring the moon, and soaking in bright, sunny days. Crystie never met a stranger and left a lasting impression on everyone she encountered. Her most cherished title was "Gammy" to her grandchildren, who were the light of her life. Although her time with them was far too short, she made sure each of them knew just how deeply they were loved.

Crystie became very ill after her third heart surgery in March of 2025 and life took a turn. She put up a hard, long, tiring fight for almost a year. She was fierce, bold, and so strong.

She is survived by her husband, Scott; her parents, Bruce Clemons and Mark & Patsy Burrow; Son, Jacob Pruitt (Mayzie); Daughter, Macayla Cook(Gary); Stepdaughter, Kara Savage (Alex); Stepson, Parker Burns (Kaylah); Grandbabies, Saegan, Rowan, Maisyn, Ryder, Hartley, Lincoln, Maddox, and Scottie; Brothers, Ray Clemons (Stephanie), Jason Clemons (Jamie), Jeremy Clemons (Cindy), and Mark Burrow (Melissa); Along with aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and a whole lot of friends.
