Buried:
Kathleen Burleson, 74, of Roan Mountain, Tenn., went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, December 5, 2021, at her residence. Kathleen was born in Roan Mountain to the late Walter and Vallie Johnson Brown. In addition to her parents, Kathleen was preceded in death by her husband, William Burleson; a daughter, Lisa Gail Brown Salley; and a nephew, Bobby Brown.
Kathleen was a wonderful cook, homemaker and mother. She was sassy and an excellent improviser — she was able to think quick and work efficiently in all situations. Kathleen was a Christian lady and taught Sunday School at Roan Mountain Church of God for several years and had also served as the church treasurer. Most of all, Kathleen loved her family and working in her flowers. She was a true perfectionist with her yard.
Those left to cherish Kathleen’s memories include a son, Ronnie L. Beam of Roan Mountain, Tenn.; her son-in-law, Randy Salley of North Carolina; her brother, Jack (Juanita) Brown of Virginia; and her special friend, Louise Hughes. Several nieces and nephews also survive.
