Helen Marie Burke, 69, of Lexington Park, MD., passed away on Monday, February 18, 2013 at St. Mary’s Hospital.
Helen was employed at almost every restaurant in St. Mary’s County. She worked at KFC, Arby’s, Burger King, and McDonald’s at Patuxent River, for a total of 38 years.
Helen was a smart, very friendly, kind and respectful lady. She had a big heart as well. Helen was always ready and willing to help anyone; especially those who could not do for themselves. One of Helen’s passions and hobbies was making baby doll clothes as well as some of her own clothes and they looked as good as if they were bought from the store.
Helen leaves to cherish her memories two very special friends, Bernard L. Williams and Loretta A.King (both who considered Helen to be a mom to them as well as a special friend).
Visitation will be on Sunday, February 24, 2013 from 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm at Briscoe-Tonic Funeral Home Chapel, 38576 Brett Way, Mechanicsville, MD. Interment will be private.
I would like to express my condolences to Helen’s two friends Bernard and Lorretta. I have not seen Helen in 50 years. She was the daughter of Margarite Twilley Burke and William Chester Burke.
