BURTON, MI -- Jane L. Nimcheski’s claim to local fame was her election as the first female mayor of Burton, but friends and family say she cared most about community service -- something that made her stand out in a city known for its rough-and-tumble politics. After an election defeat, she retired from politics, volunteering at the Genesee County Free Medical Clinic and advocating for children as a guardian ad litem. She was more of a community servant,” her daughter Michelle Welch-Kohn said Tuesday, Sept. 20. As mayor, she helped bring public water to Burton, supporting the replacement of an aging community well system that served only part of the city, Genesee County Drain Commissioner Jeff Wright said. Nimcheski, who attended Sacred Heart School in Birch Run, said she recalled words she had heard as a student there.
