In Memoriam – February 2022

Each month, Tri Delta publishes In Memoriam, highlighting the lives of some of our Distinguished Deltas and longtime volunteers and sharing a full list of sisters who have recently passed away. Below is the In Memoriam for February 2022.

Dr. Annamarie Booz Burts, Northwestern 

Tri Delta was saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. Annmarie Booz Burts, Northwestern, on Aug. 29, 2021, at age 104. Annamarie served Tri Delta as our first traveling secretary (now known as chapter development consultant) in 1939.  

Annamarie attended Mt. Holyoke College and received her bachelor’s degree from Northwestern University, where she joined Tri Delta’s Upsilon Chapter. She went on to receive her Master of Arts from the University of Pennsylvania, and her doctorate in education from Columbia University. 

She would go on to work for universities across the U.S., along with her husband whom she met in her graduate program at Columbia. They devoted their lives in service to their family, their college students, their church and their community. A longtime academic, at 101 years old Annamarie was highlighted in the Greenville Journal in 2018 for reading to her fellow retirement home residents.
