Lou Ann enjoyed children and ran a day care for several years. She was also employed by the Pella Corporation for twelve years. After retiring from Pella, she had an antique business and did flea markets. She could never resist a bargain, especially at Goodwill.

Those left to cherish her memory include Nyle Burns, her husband of sixty-two years; her sons: Marty Eugene (Lura) Burns; Mark Douglas Burns; and Jeff (Pat) MacGregor; her brothers, Richard (Linda) Olson and Bobby (Jan) Olson; her sisters, Linda Rydstrom and Reathea (Roger) Harrington; her grandchildren: Gabriel, Lucas, and McKenzie Burns; Dylan Hodges; Madison (Nathan) Kyle; Amy, Jodi, and Tracie MacGregor; and Kendal and Nicole Myers; and her great grandchildren, Ali and Isaiah; as well as nieces, nephews, and extended family members, and friends.

A Celebration of Life will take place Saturday, May 25, 2019, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Marathon Community Center in Marathon. Burial will follow at a later date in the Poland Township Cemetery in Marathon. The Sliefert Funeral Home in Albert City is in charge of the arrangements.
