1911 - Frieda Louise Burns - 2005 

Frieda Burns was born on February 14, 1911, in Murray County, Minnesota 
to Albert and Anna Rachuy Bloch. She grew up on a farm near Currie. 
Frieda attended Country School District 46. With her two sons Eugene and 
Robert Burns and her mother, Frieda moved to Iona from Westbrook in 1939. 
Frieda moved to the Southgate Apartments on December 31, 1973, and lived 
there until January 2001, when she became a resident of Slayton Manor. 
She moved to the Westbrook Good Samaritan Center in April 2001 and passed 
away there on January 1, 2005 at the age of 93. She was a member of 
Trinity Lutheran Church in Slayton and previously belonged to Zion 
Lutheran Church in Iona. Frieda loved listening to the Minnesota Twins on 
her radio, especially after her granddaughter Jeanie Burns Hrbek, married 
the first baseman in 1985. Throughout the years, Frieda's grandchildren 
and great-grandchildren have always put a sparkle in her eyes and a smile 
on her face. Their visits were always precious to her. She enjoyed horses 
and horseback riding, and herding cattle. 

Survivors include her two sons and their wives: Gene and Doris Burns, 
Bloomington, MN and Bob and Ruth Burns, Claire City, SD; five 
grandchildren: Doug Burns, Tom Burns, Nancy and Kevin Gaukler, Jeanie and 
Kent Hrbek, Paula and Todd Ebel; four great-grandchildren: Elizabeth
