Julie graduated from Cole Harbour High School in 1991 and went on to study at Ryerson Polytechnic in Toronto. She started her career in the hospitality & tourism industry, moved onto the airline industry before most recently taking a position wit

h the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority at the Halifax Airport. Julie was an incredible woman with a great sense of humour, a contagious smile and a sharp wit. She leaves behind countless friends who will always remember her fondly and th

e wonderful times they shared. She always enjoyed the private jokes and laughs she shared with her older brother Andrew. From walking her to the school bus as a young girl to joining her for every major medical appointment during her fight with ca

ncer - Julie was always appreciative of her big brother's love, support and comfort. Julie was married to Christopher Burke of St. Peter's in 2009 and they were enjoying a wonderful life together - though they only had a short time together, it wa

s filled with love. Julie's greatest joy and gift to all of us left behind is her wonderful 16 month old son, Jack Amos Burke.
