Mary Rebecca Lemm, 47, of Lexington, Nebraska, died Tuesday, August 10, 2010, at Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney.
She was born February 11, 1963, at Garden City, Kansas to Frank and Rosie (Folsem) Burchett.
Mary was united in marriage to Alan Lemm on December 21, 1985, at Norfolk, Virginia. The couple moved to Lexington in 2007 for Alan’s job. She had been ill prior to moving to Lexington and her health just gradually went downhill.
She loved to cook, knit, crochet, but most importantly, her family was her world. She was able to be at the birth of their granddaughter, Ruby, a couple of months ago and the family will always cherish that memory.
Mary was a wonderful wife, mother and best friend. She fought so hard her whole life with illnesses and accidents and will be so very missed.

One son: Adam Foster of Lexington, Nebraska
Three daughters: Nina Brown of Deerfield, Kansas and her children; Sean, Christopher & Kathleen
Rachel Settle of Wichita, Kansas
Kimberly Hamilton of Haysville, Kansas and her children; Dakota & Ruby
Two brothers: Frank Burchett of Wichita Falls, Texas
