Rachael Burks Obituary
Rachael worked as a registered nurse for more than twenty years, traveling to hospitals in Delaware, Arizona, Maryland, New York, and Louisiana. Most recently, she served as a risk, regulatory and infection control practitioner for Valley Health, supporting hospitals in both Virginia and West Virginia, primarily at Page Memorial Hospital in Luray, Virginia.
Rachael was a self-proclaimed plant lady and an avid chef. She loved book club, timeless style, and entertaining family and friends. When not taking care of others, she could be found shopping for French cookware or the perfect shade of lipstick.
She is survived by her husband Fulmer Lee Burks Jr. and children Madeline Margaret Fowler, Jackson George Fowler, Isabel "Izzy" Rosemarie Burks, and Christine Grace "Gracie" Burks. She is also survived by loving parents Karen Jean Ingraham, Lee Ingraham, sisters Juliana Young and Kristen Ingraham, mother-in-law Amanda Burks (Fulmer Lee Burks Sr.), brother-in-law Charles Burks, beloved nieces Gabrielle, Emma, and Olivia, nephew William, dearest cousin Christine Schirmer, many extended family and lifelong friends.
A celebration of life will be planned for May 4th at 4:30 p.m. in Rappahannock County, with details to be shared once finalized. In lieu of flowers, her family asks that you plant a favorite bloom in your own home or garden, to enjoy every year.

I'm so very sorry for your loss! Rachael was a friend and coworker that I loved dearly! She was beautiful inside and out! She was such a wonderful person and always eager to help, give advice or share a story of past experiences. I loved her stories of working on the heart floor when she was a nurse. She had so much love for her family and would talk about them daily to us here at PMH. I shared an office with her and miss her so much already! I pray that God will be with you all! Rhonda C
