DELIA L. BURKE
Delia L. Burke, Born in Thomasville, Georgia May 14th, 1933...daughter of Elder and Mrs. D. O. Lewis. Died peacefully at Hospice Savannah in the early morning hours of February 4th.
She is survived by her four children...Debrah H. Wilson Stan, Ben Hunley Pam, Tim and Stuart Hunley and two grandchildren Noelle Wilson McCowan Peter , and Sam Hunley. Preceded in death by her first husband Ben Hunley and her second husband William Vincent Burke and nine siblings.
She was a communicant of St. Thomas Episcopal Church where she taught Sunday School for many years, sang in the choir, and served on the board of the St. Thomas Thrift Store as well as many other volunteer projects including Episcopal Youth and Childrens' Services EYCS where she served for more than 10 years.
She was an avid reader and in her later years took up painting as a hobby. She had an immense love of friends and family and was loved by all she met because of her fun-loving and happy spirit which she demonstrated so beautifully even during her time in Hospice. And as she went to sleep each night she prayed for friends and family from coast-to-coast...
Her friends and family will be eternally grateful for the kind and loving care she received during her stay at Hospice of Savannah. Many thanks to all who cared for her so well during her final days.
Friends and family are invited to a celebration of life in memory of Dee on Friday February 8th at 15 Island Drive the home of friend Will Quaile as her ashes are scattered into the river.
