Obituary
Amy Corrine Burke
January 31, 1969- January 18, 2017
Amy Corrine Elizabeth Burke, of Alton Bay, NH, formerly of Ashland MA passed away peacefully at home on January 18, 2017.
Born in Framingham MA on January 31, 1969, and growing up in Framingham and Ashland, Amy developed a keen sense of humor and love of April fools jokes. She is a graduate of Keefe Technical School and the Mc Donald's McJobs program. Amy loved to be active and volunteered at Marian High School, the MetroWest Humane society, and the Worcester Regional Science and Engineering Fair. She was an avid swimmer, participating in the Special Olympics each year. Her other loves included bowling, dancing, and music, especially disco.
After moving to Alton Bay, she was employed part time by Bosco Bell in Barnstead. Amy volunteered at Alton Central School, Prospect Mountain High School, the Gilman Library, Alton Senior Center, and the Alton Garden Club. A lover of the outdoors, she enjoyed swimming in the bay, long walks, boating, mini golf, and cross country skiing. During her quiet times she enjoyed reading mysteries and Bible stories. Friends fondly remember her love of life, love of cats, celebrating her "birthday month", her creative yoga poses, and always present mug of coffee. She lived by the words of Carole King: "you've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face and show the world all the love in your heart…you're beautiful as you feel"
Amy is survived by her father, Bob, and stepmother Cathy, of Alton Bay, her sister Julie Burke of Natick, MA, brother Martin, sister in law Annette and nephew Colin Burke of San Jose CA, as well as loving extended families in Wisconsin, Illinois, and New York. She is predeceased by her mother, Diana Wood Burke and sister, Laurie Burke.
Many thanks to Joyce, Bing, and the Remillard family of Framingham MA for being such an important part of Amy's young life.
The family is grateful to loving friends, the folks of the town of Alton who welcomed her company, Lakes Region Community Services and the Central NH VNA and hospice for their care and support.
A Mass of Resurrection will be held at St Katherine Drexel Church in Alton, NH on Saturday Jan 28 at 1 pm.
Donations may be made in Amy's memory to the Special Olympics, or a favorite Humane Society.
