Edris Jeanene (Griffith) Burke was born December 17, 1946 in Shattuck, Oklahoma to Hezekiah and Beulah (Fessler) Griffith. Throughout her childhood they lived in Fargo and also on the Welding gang where they actually lived in the box cars, before making their home in Shattuck in 1956. Edris graduated high school at Shattuck and went to drafting school in Oklahoma City following her graduation.

On January 18, 1968 she was married to Russ Burke. From that union they had three daughters and made their home in Springfield, Colorado where they raised their daughters. In 1994 after the divorce, Edris moved to Liberal, Kansas where she attended college for two years. In 1996 she moved to Shattuck to take care of her parents.
