Burleen Dorman Howe (1926 - 2020)
Burleen Dorman Howe, 93, entered into eternal life with her Lord and Savior on April 4th, 2020 at the Wayne T. Patrick Hospice House.
Due to current events, a private graveside service was held at Grandview Memorial Park with the Rev. Lee Ann Livingston officiating. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at a later date.
Born on September 26th, 1926 in Conway, S.C., Ms. Howe was the daughter of the late Sam Dorman and the late Dollie Mae Grainger Dorman. Ms. Howe was preceded in death by her husband, James Thomas Howe, and her sister, Elma Fay Johnson. She was a member of First Baptist Church in Rock Hill. After graduating from Winthrop College with a major in Sociology, she served as a social worker, a mentor, and later, as a Supervisor of the Children and Family Services Unit of the York County Department of Social Services. Ms. Howe especially enjoyed working with and advocating for youth in foster homes. She was instrumental in helping to place children eligible for adoption with numerous loving families in York County. Her desire to assist needy children and families was unsurpassed.
Affectionately known as "Mama Bean" by her children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, Ms. Howe enjoyed vacationing, gardening, and baking. With a fun-loving sense of humor, her utmost joy was spending time with family. "Mama Bean" was loved by all, and she will be greatly missed by those closest to her.
