Abstract: The article presents a conversation with Mary Thomas Burke, a social worker. Burke, known affectionately to many in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the surrounding communities as "Sister," has devoted over 50 of the past years of her life to service. In this interview, she explores the paths that her service endeavors have followed, the influences and turning points in her life, and shares her insights on achieving balance in service and in life. Mary Thomas Burke has resided in Charlotte, North Carolina for over 50 years. During that time, she has served as a teacher, a school counselor, an academic dean and, at University of North Carolina, Charlotte, as a professor, a chairperson, and a program coordinator. During the past 30 years, she has spoken to countless audiences on values, relationships, youth, women's issues, bereavement, AIDS, and ethics. She is the author and coauthor of many books and journal articles. If her life could be summarized in a brief comment it would be that she sought to help others. Her interest in helping others is reflected in her teaching activities and many community involvements.
