parents in Pilot Grove and they all still reside in Pilot Grove. Delores married Michael Burke on February 6, 1982, and they were blessed with three beautiful daughters.

Delores attended State Fair College and achieved a secretarial degree. She assisted her husband Michael with his auto body business for over 30 years by being the bookkeeper for their family business. She most recently was employed by Alliant Bank in Pilot Grove as a teller for the last several years.

Delores’ life was a very active one. She participated in all activities at St. Joseph Church where she was a devoted member and she was a committed blood donor to the Red Cross. She treasured spending time with her four grandchildren, and taking long walks with her dog, Buddy, each day. She enjoyed many outdoor activities including vegetable and flower gardening and going to the Lake of the Ozarks to spend time in the water and on the boat. She was also found watching every St. Louis Cardinals game, as she was an avid fan. In the house, she excelled in sewing, crafting, quilting, cooking, baking and doing all she could for her family that she dearly loved and meant everything to her. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister and daughter and will be terribly missed.
