The Life of Ms. Louise Oriole Burevitch
Mrs. Louise Oriole Burevitch of Wilmington died in September 2014, leaving a fortune that few suspected she had. While she enjoyed a reputation during her later years as a generous philanthropist in her beloved New Hanover County… Burevitch did not seek the limelight for her giving. “She was that quintessential ‘millionaire next door,’” said Beth Boney Jenkins, NCCF vice president for development. “She lived modestly, drove an older model Ford and really didn’t appear to spend much money, except on charitable causes that mattered to her.”
Mrs. B, as friends called her, was a philanthropist at heart donating to charities that meant the most to her with common themes such as: animal welfare, education, healthcare and issues related to women and children.
At our own Cape Fear Community College Mrs. B donated funds for a nursing lab, as well as the naming the Veterinary Medical Technology lobby, named after her beloved dog Jake. She also has two endowed scholarships that benefit the Health Sciences and the Veterinary Medical Technology Programs.
