Margaret "Margie" Shye

With heavy hearts, the family of Margaret “Margie” Cameron Burke Shye announce her passing on June 4, 2025, at the age of 67. Born on February 1, 1958, Margie’s life was marked by both hardship and resilience. From an early age, she faced challenges that tested her spirit. Life brought many struggles and her closest relationships sometimes suffered, but beneath it all, she remained fiercely human: complex, loving, and perfectly imperfect. She had a stubborn strength that showed in the children she raised—strong-willed, determined, and spirited individuals who reflect her fire. Margie is survived by her brother; George Burke (wife Debbie); daughter, Evelyn Roberts (husband Kenny); daughter, Sylvia Marie Burke; and her 11 grandchildren: Tyler Rigsby, Brandon Rigsby, Derick Burke, Harlie Marie Burke, Oliver Marie Burke, Raelynn Kirkland, Angelina Burke, Niyah Burke, Angel Burke, Addison Rhodes and Mya Rhodes. She is preceded in death by her beloved sons, Michael Cameron Burke and Angel Dean Burke, whose memories were always held close to her heart. She will be remembered not only for her love and devotion to her family, but also for her strength, her humor, and the way she held space for others—even when life asked too much of her. She often found peace in nature—the smell of the earth after rain, the wild calm of a thunderstorm, and the sounds of rain on a tin roof. These were the quiet comforts that brought her back to herself. Our mother was a woman of survival. Her story was not a simple one, but it was hers—and it left its mark. She will be remembered with love, honesty, and the knowledge that she has now found her peace. A memorial service will held for immediate family and friends at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family encourages you to spend precious time with your loved ones, take a quiet moment outside, and listen to the rain—for Margie. The family would like to encourage anyone that would like to share a memory or photograph, please do so on this this website obituary. This obituary is courtesy of Austin & Bell Funeral Home.
