Mary (Judy) Burke Obituary
Judy is predeceased by her beloved husband, James (Jim) Burke, and her daughters, Dorothy and Marguerite. She is survived by her devoted daughter, Gina Kuzemka (Paul), and her sons, Jim (Lori) and Ray (Danielle). She also leaves behind her sons-in-law, Andy Kozak and John Miller, and a loving legacy of grandchildren: Kayla Miller, Kevin Kozak, Jim Miller, Jackson, RJ, and Cash Burke, along with her great-grandchild, Brady James.
Judy's warmth and kindness extended to many, including her nieces, nephews, and the loving families of the Browns, Sterns, Hickeys, Gallagher, Swaim's and Burke families. She cherished her dear friends and her beloved grand dogs, Finn, Emelina, Jersey, Riley, and Daisy.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, honoring Judy's spirit of generosity and love for children.
A Mass and celebration of her life will be held in the near future in Lithia, FL. Interment will be private. Judy will be deeply missed and forever remembered for her love and compassion.
