Mary Christine Burke-Gianino

Mary grew up in Roseville and graduated from Macomb Community College, earning her associate's degree. She began her career at Wayne State University as a secretary in the history department and later joined the State of Michigan, where she dedicated over 30 years of service as a legal secretary.

Mary was known for her independence and determination, qualities that defined her throughout her life. She was passionate about gardening and found solace in tending to her plants. Mary had a love for literature and could often be found immersed in a good book.

Above all, Mary cherished her role as a mother. She was the best mom her children could ask for, known for her fierce love and unwavering support. Her children and grandchildren held a special place in her heart, and she always made sure they knew how much she cared.
