Obituary for Agnes A. Burda
Agnes A. (Klucharich) Burda, 80, passed away March 2, 2022. Formally of Lower Macungie and most recently Whitehall, she was born in Allentown, the daughter of the late Joseph and Stephanie (Yandrasits) Klucharich. Agnes was the devoted wife of Joseph M. Burda, with whom she would have celebrated 60 years of marriage in November, and loving mother of two daughters.
Graduating from Allentown Central Catholic High School, Agnes pursued her education for teaching and business administration at Gwynedd Mercy College. She started her career at Emerson Electric and looked back fondly at the fun times with the ladies at ATC in Alburtis, a position she later worked while raising her children. Her work life continued at Prudential and then Aetna, where she received several promotions with nine years of perfect attendance. She formed many long-lasting friendships with her work colleagues.
Agnes was a long-time member of St. Thomas More Church in Allentown where she participated in various activities including the choir and Women’s Group. She loved crafts and travelled the world.
Agnes’s greatest pride and accomplishment was being a mother and grandmother. She loved her family and will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
In addition to her husband, Joseph, Agnes will be deeply missed by her daughters Sonia A. Burda of Los Angeles, CA and Stephanie A. Allsup of West Chester, OH; two beloved grandchildren James D. Allsup and Trevor M. Allsup; and her loving nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her sister, Marie Klusaritz.
