“I am proud to work for a bank that is dedicated to their employees, customers and community,” said Burch when asked about her time with Crews Bank & Trust. “I’m looking forward to assisting my customers with their estate and trust needs so they can relax and spend their time doing the things they enjoy with the people they love the most.”

Burch is married with two sons, one who is a nuclear machinist in the U.S. Navy and the other a student at UCF Orlando. She also has two German shepherds. Her favorite thing to do when not working is to spend time with her family (dogs included).
