Linda Lee Burow

Linda Lee Burow, of Richfield, MN passed away peacefully at the age of 80 at the NC Little Hospice Center in Edina, MN on November 5th, 2026.

A loving mother, cherished friend, and truly remarkable woman, she touched the lives of so many with her kindness, strength, and compassion.

In partnership with her husband, Pastor Gaylen Burow, Linda served as the music and educational coordinator and was also affectionately known as "The Pie Lady" to those who were fortunate to have enjoyed her love of baking.

She demonstrated extraordinary courage and resilience throughout her life. She was a proud mother of three children, whom she welcomed into her heart and family through adoption, providing a lifetime of unconditional love and support.

She will be remembered for her strength, generous heart, and the love she shared with those around her. Her legacy will live on through the family she loved and the countless memories they shared.

She will be deeply missed and forever loved. 

John 10:10 "I have come to give you life and to give it to you in abundance."
