Dorothy Faye Burdette (“Nannie”), 70, of White Settlement, Texas, entered into rest on January 8, 2026. She was born January 23, 1955, in Fort Worth, Texas, and passed away in White Settlement, Texas. Dorothy was a strong, hardworking, self-sufficient woman who was deeply devoted to her family. She worked faithfully for 37-38 years at Luskey-Ryon’s, later known as Cavender’s, where her dedication and work ethic never went unnoticed. Many of her coworkers lovingly referred to her as “Mom,” because Dorothy had a way of caring for everyone around her. Dorothy was preceded in death by her fiancé, Leland Homan; her parents, Lois and Frances Barrow; her siblings, Charles Barrow, Chester Barrow, James Barrow, L.A. Barrow, Danny Barrow, Raymond Barrow, Ronnie Barrow, and Shirlene Smith; and her beloved grandchildren, Sierra Hilburn and Levi Thomas. She is survived by her children: Bobby Ray Hilburn of Shreveport, Louisiana; Angela Wilson (spouse Tommy Miller) of Granbury, TX; William Jason Hilburn (spouse Kelli Hilburn) of Cleburne, TX; Christopher Hilburn (spouse Brandy Woodward) of River Oaks, TX; Clayton Hilburn (spouse Jenny Hilburn) of Red Oak, TX; Candise DeBerry of White Settlement, TX; and Brian DeBerry (spouse Brittnei DeBerry) of Corpus Christi, TX; as well as 34 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren who were the pride and joy of her life. Dorothy’s home was always open and full of love, laughter, and family-especially during the holidays. She cherished hosting Thanksgiving and Christmas, with Christmas being her favorite. She was known for her love of western life-rodeos, boots, horses, and western décor-and she was absolutely in love with George Strait – he was her man. Dorothy had a gift in the kitchen, and her family will forever remember her chicken and dumplings and her famous red beans, which no one could make like Nannie Dorothy. She also had a “green thumb,” finding joy and peace in gardening. After work each day, Dorothy could be found greeting her dog, feeding him, and also feeding the neighborhood raccoons, opossums, and cats. Above all, Dorothy was fiercely protective of her children and family. She loved deeply, gave endlessly, and lived a life of service and sacrifice for those she cared about.
