Dinah Burch

Dec. 12, 1955 - May 19, 2017

EDWARDSBURG - Dinah Burch, 61, of Edwardsburg, Michigan passed away on Friday, May 19, surrounded by her loving family after a courageous battle with her health. Her journey was long and she is finally at rest, walking the Streets of Gold.

She was born on December 12, 1955 to the late George and Nellie Nieb. She attended Niles High School and is still in contact with some of the friends she made there.

Her parents, George and Nellie Nieb and her grandparents, Howard and Rose Nieb preceded her in death.

On March 20, 1981, she married her husband, John.

She leaves behind her grieving husband, John Burch of Edwardsburg, daughter, Mindy (Brett) King of Granger, Indiana, two grandchildren, Madelyn and Bryce and her precious fur babies, Aspen and Teddy.

Dinah was one of the most kindhearted people with the sweetest smile. This served her well in her many years working as a receptionist for various dental offices. Her career began at Max Rusher's Dental Office in Niles, Michigan and ended at Princess City Dental Care in Mishawaka. She loved animals and she loved life. She enjoyed trips to the zoo with her granddaughter and looked forward to it every summer. She was generous and always made sure everyone else was taken care of before her. She carried this trait to the end. She was a quiet, very sweet woman by nature. She was always there to listen without judgment and her sweet laughter was contagious.

Services will be held at the Paul E. Mayhew Funeral Home, 26863 West Main Street in Edwardsburg, Michigan. Visitation will be Tuesday from 4-6 PM and the funeral will be held on Wednesday at 1:00 PM, led by Rev. Dr. Pat Somers. Burial will follow in Riverside Cemetery, Dowagiac, Michigan.

Any donations can be made to the St. Joe County Humane Society, 2506 Grape Rd., Mishawaka, IN 46545.

The family wishes to thank Hospice for all their love and support even though it was a brief time that they were together and to all of the friends who came to visit when Dinah needed them most. It truly meant a lot to everyone.

Arrangements are by the Paul E. Mayhew Funeral Home, Edwardsburg.

I remember fondly whispering and giggling with Dinah during study hall at Ballard.  My prayers to her family.
