Alexa Danielle Burke's Obituary
Alexa Danielle Burke
~ Our Lovely ~
January 11, 1991 – January 2, 2016
Alexa Danielle Burke died unexpectedly while sleeping peacefully at home in the arms of her beloved mother, on January 2, 2016 in Oviedo, FL. at the age of 24.
Alexa is survived by her mother, Jeanne Rene’ Burke, her beloved brothers, Hunter Robert Mills, and Samuel Francis Burke, her father, Daniel Frank Burke, her aunt and uncle, Pamela and James Shrouder, Kevin and Artina Jones, her aunt, Debbie Williams, her uncle, John Helveston, and cousins, Jimmy and Jason Shrouder, Chandler and Kennedy Helveston, Rene Tice, Rachel Jankowics, and Whitney Bradley.
Greeting her in heaven are her grandparents, Jeanne M. Helveston, William Kenneth Jones, Frank Burke, and Helen Burke, her brother, Dylan Mills, her uncle, Jason Helveston, and her great grandparents, Frank and Helen Mochty.
Alexa was born on January 11, 1991 in Phoenix, Arizona at Good Smaritan Hospital. She will be remembered as beautiful and witty, strong and sweet, loving and steadfastly devoted to family, friends and her beloved, Cameron Claffy. She had the ability to connect with those that she loved in the most unique and unusual ways. She loved all things that were “uniquely different” and pondered beauty in them - even when no one else could “see”.
Alexa was gifted in music and scholastics. She had an artistic flare and a witty and unique sense of humor that was beyond comparison. Alexa’s gratitude for even the tiniest of gifts from those she loved was heartwarming to witness. All who knew her would agree that she was kindhearted and noticeably non-judgmental of people.
By far, Alexa shined most in her devotion to family and her beloved Cameron and his family. Even in heaven, her strong spirit will most assuredly rain love and wishes for all that are good for them; until she embraces them - once again.
