PJ was preceded in death by her parents, A.D. Burrell and Lavada Burrell Stinnett, a brother, Robert (Bob) Burrell, a sister Judy Orlean Burrell and a friend, Connie Smith. PJ is survived by the love of her life, Wayne E. Davis; two sons, Aaron (Bubba) Burrell and his wife, Shaneil, and Jeremy Kern and wife Melissa; a daughter, Jennifer Morro and her fiancé, Todd Mohr; a brother, Jimmy Burrell and his wife, Nedra; a sister-in-law, Patricia Burrell; a sister, Susan Roland and her husband, J.D.; seven grand-children, Malachi (Leprechaun), Hannah (Banana Pie), Alexander (Junior), Makala, Miranda (Pumpkin Pie), Savannah (Moon Pie) and Lilly (Blueberry Pie); four nephews, Jamie, Robert, Jimmy, and Chris (Onion Head); four nieces, Michelle, Amanda (Kitty Kat), Kathleen and Sadie (Mousey); a special great-nephew, Little Baby Dee; special family friends, Gary, Mark, Sheila, K.K.

Her saying was when I die, it doesn’t matter what kind of car I drove, the clothes I wore, how much money I had or what kind of house I lived in. As long as she knew her experiences made a difference in someone else’s life. Cremation is under the direction of Anderson-Bethany Funeral Home and Crematory.
