Amherst, NS February 27, 2025
It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Helen Dora Burke, age 94, of Amherst and formerly of Springhill, NS, on Thursday, February 27, 2025 at All Saints Hospital in Springhill.
Born in Springhill , she was a daughter of the late Mike and Rose Misken.
Helen was a highly intelligent and creative woman who was also a gifted artist. While mostly devoted to her painting, she also enjoyed anything to do with crafts and fibre arts like knitting and sewing. She used to enjoy fishing and loved the outdoors. Helen was always a loving, caring and devoted mother.
Helen is survived by six sons, Michael (Debbie), Tremont, NS, Wayne (Catherine), Antigonish, NS, Stephen (Vicki), Margaretsville, NS, Paul (Vera), Florida, Kenneth, Alabama, and David (Iris), Chester, NS; nine grandchildren; six great grandchildren; as well as several nieces and nephews.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased by the father of her children, Francis Burke; her siblings, Peter Misken and Mary Burke.
Honouring Helen's wishes, cremation has taken place and a graveside service will be held at the North Street Roman Catholic Cemetery at a later date.
Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Helen may do so to the All Saints Hospital Palliative Care.
