- A contemporaneous forum notice reported Burget’s death and reproduced a funeral-home obituary identifying her Beaver Island summer residence and community volunteering. The reproduced notice is secondary; the forum’s community responses are treated as social memory rather than independent biographical verification.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 06 · t006075
- Burget's daughter thanked the community for a summer memorial gathering at the Community Center and described the island as an important second home and social connection. This is family testimony about the memorial, not an independent obituary or attendance record.
- The notice scheduled a July 5 remembrance at the Beaver Island Community Center; a follow-up from the Port St. James Association identified Burget as a longtime summer resident, Community Center volunteer, and former association vice president. This is community and organizational testimony, not a substitute for the held Beacon obituary.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 07 · t007637
