Donald Keller Burke, 88, of Martinsburg, went to be with our Lord Oct. 14, 2012, at City Hospital with his family by his side.

Born April 18, 1924, in Berkeley County, he was the son of the late Charles Robert and Edna Lamberson Burke.

Mr. Burke retired from the U.S. Navy after a stellar career as a senior chief petty officer. He was a World War II combat veteran and a plank owner at the Naval Memorial. Upon returning to the local area after his retirement from the military, Mr. Burke continued to serve his community. He worked with the Martinsburg City Council on the parking lot committee. He volunteered at the Apollo Theatre, where he assisted with the sound and lighting systems, built stage sets and performed general maintenance. Mr. Burke volunteered at City Hospital for many years - he was affectionately known as "the wheelchair man."

He was a member of Second Baptist Church where he had served as a deacon and trustee.

He is survived by his five children, Helen Rowe and husband, John, of Martinsburg, Kathy Terrell and husband, Jack, of Kinston, Wash., Patti Hoffman and husband, David, of Kearneysville, Debbie Alderton and husband, Rick, of Falling Waters, and Donald Burke Jr. and wife, Kathy, of Bunker Hill. Mr. Burke is also survived by 14 grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 64 years, Dora Lee Miller Burke; three brothers, Thomas R. Burke, William Burke and an infant brother; one sister, Evelyn Mae Burke; and granddaughter, Dena Marie Parsons.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 17, at Brown Funeral Home with the Rev. Malcom Cadd and Dr. Jack Rudy officiating. Interment will be held at Rosedale Cemetery with military graveside services.

Family will receive friends from 7 to 9 p.m. today at the funeral home.
