Kathryn G. Burke, loved the Lord
Kathryn G. “Kathy” Burke passed away Saturday, Nov. 27, 2021. Kathy was the most beautiful woman in the world; she loved The Lord and the church. When Kathy married Robert Burke, her loving husband, on May 26, 2005, Kathy brought Robert to The Lord and they attended Eagles Nest Church in Milton. Kathy was a hair stylist all her life and loved every minute of it. Cutting hair was not a job to Kathy but a way to make someone else happy with their looks; it was an art form for Kathy. Kathy liked to cook for people, garden, sit on the beach, ride bicycles through Lewes where she and her husband owned a house, and just partake in the beauty of the town of Lewes and its people.
Kathy was a volunteer and absolutely loved the Historic Lewes Farmers Market, helping with the cooking demonstrations and anywhere else she was needed. Kathy loved to take her little red wagon, meet with the farmers, and ask for donations of their fresh, locally grown food so she could donate it to Casa San Francisco’s emergency food pantry program in Milton. Kathy loved all the farmers at the market and always had a smile for them.
Kathy and her husband lived by Ecclesiastes 4:12; the Bible tells us that “though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” The Cord of Three Strands represents God, the groom, and the bride, and braiding these three strands symbolizes the joining of one man, one woman, and God in marriage.
If anyone would like to give a gift in Kathy’s name to the Historic Lewes Farmers Market, both Kathy and I would love it: Historic Lewes Farmers Market, P.O. Box 185, Nassau, DE 19969-0185.
Services will be held at 12 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 9, at Eagles Nest Church, 26633 Zion Church Road, Milton. Those who wish to can attend the church service beforehand that starts at 9:30 a.m.
