Remember Both Highlands Mayor Carolyn Broullon and Shrewsbury former Mayor Donald Burden expressed their own personal thoughts and memories of Lillian G. Burry, the former Monmouth County freeholder and commissioner who passed away Aug. 28. Mrs. Burry’s funeral will be on Tuesday, September 9, at 11 a.m. at Colts Neck Reformed Church, 139 Rt. 537, Colts Neck.
Mayor Broullon wrote:
Lillian Burry was a testament to class, commitment and dedication. She was a force of nature that worked tirelessly for the residents of Monmouth County. Her accomplishments are too many to list and will forever keep her name as one of the premiere civil servants of our time.
Former Mayor Burden, who also served with the Freeholder on the Monmouth County Library Commission, and was a friend who shared deep appreciation for Monmouth County history and knowledge of the importance of the county during the American Revolution, in recalling some of his favorite memories of the Commissioner, said
Shrewsbury was always a part of Lillian’s  life. Whether reading part of the Declaration at the annual 4th of July event at the Allen House, attending to meetings and functions at her treasured Eastern Branch of the Monmouth County Library, swearing me in as Mayor of Shrewsbury,  attending ribbon cuttings for Shrewsbury’s businesses, participating in events at the Shrewsbury Historical Society,  or family holiday visits to her Shrewsbury family, Lillian will always be remembered fondly by the Shrewsbury Community.
