Among roomfuls of donated items at the Gainesville Civic Center lie the remaining pieces of Felicia Burns’ estate. Felicia Burns was a member of the Junior League of Gainesville-Hall County beginning in the mid-1950s until her death in July from pancreatic cancer. She asked her daughter-in-law Tina Burns, a sustaining member of the league, not to hold an estate sale after her death, but to donate the items to the Junior League thrift sale instead.
