Faye Burke passed quietly in her home with her son, Clayton, and daughter, Stephani, by her side on April 22nd, 2026.

Born in Henryetta, Oklahoma, she lived from one end of the country to the other during her 84 years. From California to Rhode Island, and many points in between. Anyone who knew her would probably tell you she was one of the kindest and sweetest people you’d ever meet. But some of us knew she could be tough as nails when the situation demanded.

Faye was preceded in death by her husband, Dennis Burke. Their 10 years of marriage was some of the happiest years of her life. She was also preceded in death, by her son, Steven Thomas, and her daughter, Alana Bradley, as well as her three siblings.

She is survived by her son, Clayton Thomas, her daughter, Stephani Irwin (Calvin), many grandchildren and great grandchildren, as well as multiple nieces and nephews.

A family led private memorial will be done at a later date.
