Brenda J. (nee Bower) Klehn, 1949-2004
Brenda J. (nee Bower) Klehn, 54, of Burnsville, Minnesota, formerly of Osage died August 12, 2004 at Fairview Ridges Hospital after a lengthy battle with cancer. Funeral services were held at 11 a.m. on Monday, August 16 (her 55th birthday) at Hosanna Lutheran Church in Lakeville.
Brenda was born August 16, 1949 in Riceville, Iowa to Richard and Eleanor (Miles) Bower. She started school in Brownville, one of the last rural schools in Mitchell County. In fourth grade she entered Osage Elementary School and graduated from Osage High School in 1967.

In 1989 she moved back to the Midwest. Since 1990 she had been office manager at J & E Earll Manufacturing.
Her joys of life included volunteering at church and spending time with her grandchildren. Because of her computer savvy, she spent hours researching her family history and was always ready to help family and friends with her expertise.
