Vanessa Burkoski Obituary

We are sad to announce that on August 27, 2023 we had to say goodbye to Vanessa Burkoski (Windsor, Ontario). You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

She is survived by: her husband Norm; her children, Leo (Sarah) and Vanessa; her stepchildren, Stephanie Hoehn (Kramer) and Matthew (Sarah); her mother Roma; her siblings, Roma Jr. Williamson (Neil) and Reno Santarossa (Laura); her mother-in-law Freda Burkoski; her sisters-in-law, Kathy Laur and Marcia Burkoski; and her close friends, Mary Brannagan, Dr. Doris Grinspun and Jennifer Yoon. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, Vanessa requested that her many Nursing colleagues actively recruit and support membership in the RNAO, of which she was President from 2014-2016. Donations to the Windsor Cancer Care Centre and the Hospice of Windsor and Essex County would also be greatly appreciated by the family.
