A fine and knowledgeable speaker, retired educator Earlene Burney of Clarksville,TN, was the featured speaker at the NARFE 2007 Kentucky Federation of Chapters Convention held at the Holiday Inn Downtown in Louisville in Kentucky on Thursday May 17, 2007 Banquet. She also spoke at the District I Spring Sprint which was held at Miss Scarlet's Restaurant (Exit 31 on I-24) near the Land Between the Lakes in far Western Kentucky. Burney, of Clarksville, TN, became a caregiver when her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. She used her background in education to research and teach herself about the best ways to confront the disease. She and her family struggled for twelve years through trial and error, using first the routine approaches, and later more innovative ideas geared specifically to her mother's personality, to maintain the highest quality of life for her mother. “Along the way, I realized how dreadful the disease is and wanted to do so much more to help persons who are dealing with disease, whether it was the patient or family,” said Ms. Burney. She became an advocate for the elderly, especially those with Alzheimer's Disease. She has spoken before various legislative committees at the Tennessee General Assembly. At the request of The Department of Justice and Democracy in Washington, D.C., she has spoken before congressional and senate committees about her experiences with the disease on numerous occasions. Ms. Burney has been a speaker for the Vanderbilt-Meharry Geriatric Education Foundation. She now spends her time traveling across Tennessee and surrounding states speaking at conferences and for support groups and schools teaching about a daughter's perspective on this disease.
