Elizabeth A. Burge, age 64, of McKeesport, died on January 18, 2025, at Twin Lakes Rehabilitation and Healthcare. Born January 21, 1960, in White Oak, she was the daughter of the late George and Elizabeth (Gross) Grubb and wife of the late Richard Burge.  She served her community as a paramedic and was also an employee of the former Heatherington Funeral Home, where her warmth and empathy provided comfort during some of life's most challenging moments.  A devoted member of the First Evangelical Free Church in McKeesport, Elizabeth found joy in her faith and embraced the teachings of the Bible. She cherished the written word and often found delight in reading both scripture and poetry, which fueled her gentle spirit and love for life. Elizabeth had a remarkable ability to listen with an open heart, always ready to lend an ear to those in need.

She is survived by a son, David (Monique) Burge; grandchildren, Mikelle, Declon, and Dawson; siblings, Barbara (the late Frederick) Jones and Wesley (Tracy) Grubb; niece, Shawn (Daniel) McGowan; a nephew, Scott (Donna) Jones; great nieces, Kayleigh McGowan, Maddie (James Sporl) Jones Olivia Jones; great-great-nephew, Anthony Jones-Sporl and she is also survived by extended family and friends. In addition to her parents and husband, she was also preceded in death by a sister, Diane Grubb. The family would like to thank her special friend, Sue Dolney, for her companionship and care to Elizabeth and Interim Hospice for their care in her final days. Arrangements were entrusted to Jaycox-Jaworski Funeral Home & Crematory. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date in McKeesport.
