Barbara was born to Edward and Rose Marie (Winkels) Olson on January 12, 1944, in Canby, MN. She attended Canby schools through the 11th grade. On September 29, 1961, Barbara was united in marriage with Edward Burczyk at Wilno, MN. She and Eddie moved to Staples in 1963. They had a small farm and raised five children: Lisa, Angela, David, Debra and Beverly. Barbara also worked at Carter Ringer Factory in Staples and at the Staples Hospital.
After Eddie's passing, Barb worked as a home healthcare provider. She took great pride in caring for others. In her later years of retirement, Barb moved to Sebeka and resided at Providence Villa Assisted Living. She enjoyed taking care of her flowers, watching birds at the feeders, reading, sewing, coloring, crocheting and playing Bingo. Most of all, she loved spending time with her family. She always loved being around and watching her great grandkids with all their energy!
