To the Burke family: You have been blessed to have a such a kind, beautiful, loving mother for 91 years. I've been blessed to be part of her life since our family moving to Cinnaminson in 1963. She and your dad welcomed our family with open arms. They were good friends to both of my parents. Joining the "Over 50 Club" at St Charles Borromeo & going to many dances together. When I moved back to Cinnaminson with my family in 2001, to take care of my dad, she welcomed us with open arms. She & I would go shopping to Kohl's store when it first opened in Cherry Hill. Since then I referred her as my "Irish mom" & she referred me as her "Italian daughter". Whenever I would call her on the phone to ask how she was, she never complained & always ended the conversation "Thank you for calling & God Bless".
Our family will miss her kindness. "Thank you Mrs Burke for being in our lives & God Bless"
Love and miss you "Your Italian Daughter & Neighbor"

Family was everything to Aunt Mary Jo - her immediate family and extended family. She and Uncle Tommy tried to often visit with Andy Burke's family, even years after my father, Andy Burke passed. In the spring of 2017 Aunt Mary Jo and Uncle Tom helped my mom and her family celebrate her 90th birthday. We always appreciated her gracious love.
❤️😘
We cherish the many memories ... a life well lived.
