Glenda Rae Hillers, one of 6 children of Henry and Hazel (Gerdes) Hillers, was born July 6, 1953, in Auburn, Nebraska.

On December 4, 1970, Glenda married Richard Burow at the courthouse in Lincoln, Nebraska. They were blessed with two children, Rachelle and Jason, and made their home in Auburn.

Glenda worked at various locations in Auburn during her lifetime. In her spare time she had many interests. She loved gardening and tending her flowers and plants outdoors and indoors. Cooking and baking were special interests, and she enjoyed travelling, particularly to Tucson, Arizona where she and Richard spent time in the winter.
