Amie G. Burns

Amie Goodwin Burns, 82, of Princeton, died March 23 in Princeton.

Born in Georgia, she grew up in Orlando, Florida before moving to
Princeton in 1961.

In 1941, she married Robert C. Burns, an art teacher at Rollins
College.

After World War II, she devoted herself to the care and education of her
children, who grew up in Hawthorne, N.Y., and Trenton. She volunteered as a
Girl Scout troop leader and in Parent-Teacher Associations, holding a
variety of offices from secretary to president. As a Trenton State College
faculty wife, she was active in the faculty community. She also worked as a
field test administrator for Educational Testing Service.

In her forties and fifties, she pursued her interests in political
issues, women¹s rights, art, literature, cooking, gardening and nature. She
took courses at Douglass College, participated in a march on Washington, and
traveled, making extended stays in Italy, New York City, Oregon, and
Florida. Together with her husband she visited many art museums in the U.S.
and abroad.

She is survived by her husband, Robert; her children Sandy and Carl,

grandchildren.

Born into a Pennsylvania Dutch family near Allentown, Pa., she walked with

organist and choir director. She graduated from West Chester State College
at 17, having skipped two grades in elementary school.

In 1933 she married Ogden A. Kantner, an engineer and corporate leader,
and moved to Trenton. After the death of her husband, she built a house in
Princeton in 1958 on former land of the Columbus (American) Boychoir School,
which her sons attended.

For many years she was active in the Princeton community through volunteer
work at the hospital, membership in PEO (a service/educational
organization), the Present Day Club, and Nassau Presbyterian Church. She
also served as a trustee of the American Boychoir School, traveling with the
Boychoir in 1966 on their first tour to Japan.

She moved to Pennswood in 1989 and then to Peterborough in 1996 to be
near her son Bruce and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She is survived by two sons, Kerry of Santa Fe, N.Mex., and Bruce of
Temple, N.H.; five grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.
