Burke’s aneurysm resulted in the doctors discovering a previously-undiagnosed brain tumor and the young woman tragically passed away six weeks after the incident in Mexico.
Burke’s obituary read in part, “But she will be missed by so many in her hometown of Asheville, NC, and home-away-from-home, Athens, GA. Her survivors look forward to the day that Liza guides them from this lifetime into their next big adventure.”

Burke’s mother Laura said that her daughter passed away holding her brother Jack’s hand and said, “After Hospice was called, we dressed Liza in colorful pajamas, gifted by her boyfriend’s mother, and Jack’s girlfriend, Elli, braided her hair. Liza’s dad, uncle, and a few of my UGA friends came in to say their goodbyes.”
