Allison Christian Burke, lovingly known to most as Alli, and to a special few as “Miss A”, passed away on August 25, 2026, at the age of 26.

Alli was a beloved daughter, sister, aunt, granddaughter, and friend whose life, though far too short, left an everlasting imprint on the hearts of those fortunate enough to know and love her.

More than anything, Alli was deeply loved by her family, She leaves behind her parents, Matt and Stepnanie Ray; her siblings, Kobe (Delany) Burke, Rachel Ray, and Ryan Ray; her grandfather, George Ray; her grandmother, Kathy Burke; her aunt, Amy Ray; her uncle, Jeremiah (Cristin) Burke; her aunt, Michelle (Jon) Bline; and a host of extended family.

Among the greatest joys of Allison’s life were her four nieces, who were truly the light of her life: Hayden, Harper, and Harlow Burke, and Silone Ray. The love she had for each of them was unmistakable, and the memories they made together will be treasured forever.

Allison was preceded in death by her father, Christopher Louis Burke; her angel baby boy; her maternal grandmother, Nancy Duvall; her maternal grandfather, Alfred Muldoon; her paternal grandmother, Debra Ellen Ray; her paternal grandfather, Raymond Burke; and her uncle, Austin Burke.

For the past four years, Allison was a valued member of the Gary Carpenter Construction family. Through her work, she built relationships and made an impact on the people around her, becoming a cherished part of the lives of those she worked alongside.

Her absence leaves a space that can never be filled, but the love Allison gave during her 26 years will remain- in her family, in her nieces who adored her, in the people whose lives she touched, and in the countless memories that will keep her close.

Alli was loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure. Her life mattered. Her presence mattered. And she will forever be a cherished part of her family and of the hearts of all those she leaves behind.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, September 5, 2026 at 3:00pm at A Natural State Funeral Service in Jacksonville, Arkansas.
