Joanna E. Burke

September 16, 1934 — April 30, 2018

On the afternoon of Monday, April 30, 2018, Joanna Burke, 83, went to be with her Lord and Savior.

Mrs. Burke was born on September 16, 1934 in Valley Grove, West Virginia. The loving and devoted wife of Harry Burke for 64 years, she loved the military life and proudly supported her husband’s 30 year career in the United States Air Force. She also served her country in civil service and retired as an accounting supervisor from Keesler Air Force Base. Following Hurricane Katrina, Mr. and Mrs. Burke relocated to Warner Robins where they rebuilt their life together. Her family was always her greatest source of joy and her highest priority. Any time they were all together at home was truly a blessing to her. Mrs. Burke loved the Lord and faithfully served Him at Our Lady of the Skies Catholic Parish. She was preceded in death by her father, Frederick Edgell, and her parents, Allen “Lum” and Sarah O’Neill.

Her memory will forever be treasured by her loving husband, Harry Burke of Warner Robins; children, Lynn Marie Moore of Litchfield Park, Arizona, Cathy Louise Burke of Topeka, Kansas, Kelly Ann Burke of Lawrence, Kansas, and Thomas P. Burke (Sheila) of Warner Robins; 5 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandchildren.
