Samantha Dianne Burke, 26, of Danvers, passed away peacefully on March 6, surrounded by her devoted family, her close friends and dedicated caregivers.

Born in Albany, New York on October 7, 1998, she was the beloved daughter of John Burke and Ana (Prieto) Burke both of Danvers. In addition to her parents, John and Ana, she is survived by her siblings, Allison Burke of Asheville, North Carolina and Kevin Burke of Danvers, her paternal grandmother, Dianne Burke and several aunts, uncles and cousins. She was predeceased by her paternal grandfather, Martin Burke and maternal grandparents, Myrna and Claudio Prieto.

Samantha leaves a lasting impact on those who came to know her. Samantha’s beautiful smile and infectious laugh could make the darkest day bright. She loved being around her family, music, swimming, and the lavish spa treatments that everyone loved to give her. She brought love and positivity out of every person she met. Samantha’s family, nurses, teachers and therapists were all made better every minute they were with her. Samantha will be missed terribly.

  26. To the Burke Family,

    I was intending to call and see how everyone was doing and came across this! Oh my God I’m so very sorry for your loss! This is such very sad news. 😮‍💨 Although I had only been in your lives a short time as Sam’s nurse on or about 2015, I was able to witness just how very much loved she was by you all. I enjoyed getting to know Sam and all of you and hope you are all doing well. Please accept my heartfelt condolences, and Ana feel free to call me sometime if you wish okay? I would love to hear from you. ❤️ Kristen Hendry 781-244-3022
