Rachel “Ann” Eakins BurrowsChickamauga

Rachel "Ann" Eakins Burrows, age 66, of Chickamauga, Georgia, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 27, 2025. Born in Dayton, Tennessee, Ann was the daughter of the late Richard Eakins and Margaret Lee Owens Eakins.
A devoted resident of Chickamauga for over 25 years, Ann was grounded in her Baptist faith and known for her gentle spirit and love of nature. She retired from a fulfilling career in the healthcare industry in 2009, after more than 15 years of dedicated service.
Ann found joy in the simple pleasures of life—tending to her garden, nurturing vibrant flowers, and caring for her lawn with pride. She cherished quiet moments watching wild birds and spending time with her beloved canine companion, Bella.
Above all, Ann was a pillar of love and strength to her family. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Her warmth, kindness, and unwavering support will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
In addition to her parents, Ann was preceded in death by her brother, Larry Eakins.
She is survived by her loving children, Karen Conley, Jason Conley, and Jeremy Conley; sisters, Ramona Horne and Debbie Bowers; grandchildren, Bradyn Brewer, Caitlyn Conley, Deseray Conley, and Sarah Conley; one great-grandchild; and several cherished nieces and nephews.
A funeral service honoring Ann’s life will be held at 2:00 PM on Sunday, August 31, 2025, in the chapel of Wilson Funeral Home – J. Avery Bryan Chapel, Chickamauga, with Bro. Chance Lynn officiating. Interment will follow at LaFayette Memory Gardens.
The family will receive friends on Saturday, August 30, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and again on Sunday prior to the service.
