Frances Ruth Coker Burks (born March 19, 1959), also known as the Cemetery Angel, is a former caregiver of AIDS crisis victims and an AIDS awareness advocate based in Arkansas. During the AIDS epidemic in the late 1980s, she used her salary as a real estate agent to care for AIDS patients whose families and communities had abandoned them.

(en) Frances Ruth Coker Burks (également connue sous le nom de Cemetery Angel), née le 19 mars 1959 à Hot Springs, Arkansas, est une ancienne soignante des victimes de crise du SIDA basée en Arkansas. Lors du pic de l'épidémie de sida à la fin des années 80, elle utilise son salaire d'agente immobilière pour soigner les malades du sida abandonnés par leurs familles et communautés. En raison des préjugés, des peurs et de la stigmatisation entourant la maladie à l'époque, elle est souvent la seule soignante des patients jusqu'à leur mort. Elle est connue pour les avoir enterrés dans son cimetière familial à Hot Springs, Arkansas. Elle vit actuellement à Rogers, Arkansas. (fr) Ruth Coker Burks (Hot Springs, 19 marzo 1959) è un'attivista statunitense. Nota anche come l'Angelo del cimitero, è una attivista e sostenitrice per la consapevolezza sull'AIDS. Durante l'epidemia di AIDS alla fine degli anni '80, abbandonò la carriera di agente immobiliare di successo per aiutare i malati di AIDS che non avevano nessuno a prendersi cura di loro. A causa dei pregiudizi, delle paure e dello stigma che circondava la malattia in quegli anni, era spesso l'unica a prendersi cura di loro fino alla morte. In particolare, è nota per averli seppelliti nel suo cimitero di famiglia a Hot Spring in Arkansas. Attualmente vive a Rogers, sempre in Arkansas. (it)
