Burdette, 95, of Dickerson, died peacefully on Friday, May 22, 2009 at the National Lutheran Home in Rockville. She was the loving wife of the late John R. Burdette who passed away in 1964. Wayne Roberson, pastor of Dawsonville Mennonite Church and a lifelong family friend, officiated at the service held at Dickerson United Methodist Church.She was a lifelong resident of Dickerson having lived, until only recently, over sixty-five years in the same house. As the sole female in a household of eight men, she was remembered as a strong, yet gentle woman, always smiling, a perfect model of the early twentieth century farm homemaker who cared for the home and family with love, devotion, humor, and without complaint. In that regard, it was recalled by her son, Russ, how she cooked three full meals each day, washed and dried dishes by hand, and handled the laundry of eight people at a time when scrub boards were still in use—and she still had time to prepare food for her sons' visiting baseball teammates. During times of war and economic depression, this family of farmers worked exceptionally hard and none more than she. A woman of strength and certain faith, she endured the grief of losing her husband, a son, and three other relatives in a brief stretch of years. Russ reminisced how she could be "tough as nails" during difficult times but underneath "as gentle as an angel."Even through the tribulations of her earlier years, she went on to enjoy life and good health, visits with friends and family, volunteer work and membership in her beloved Dickerson United Methodist Church, and participation in her Beallsville Senior Citizen group. Friends recalled her humor and laughter, recalling even one time when she found the humor in her automobile nearly getting swamped by an overflowing creek. Virginia Byrd Bitzel always remembered her welcoming nature, greeting others with a "hey, a shout, and a wave." Mrs. Bitzel recalled Helen's joy in being invited to church mother-daughter events as her surrogate-mom, especially knowing that Helen had no daughters of her own. Virginia's mother, one of Helen's closest friends and a mother of seven daughters herself, was overjoyed to share one of her daughters with her dear friend. Virginia recalled Helen as one who always was ready with a "smile, a hug, and a warm, comforting welcome."After a final farewell, her nephew Bill Burdette sang the classic hymn, "How Great Thou Art," a song and tribute to her, an individual who exemplified the great farm ladies of the twentieth century.She was interred in the Monocacy Cemetery. She is survived by sons Russ Burdette and wife Carole of Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, Otis Burdette of Hagerstown, and Tommy Burdette and wife Paula, also of Hagerstown; six grandchildren Chris, Jon, Juliann, Steve, Adam, Katie; and five great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by husband John, son Doug, and her mother Cora E. Mulligan.
