Missionary Update
Norma Lee Burney We received word through Don Orr from Champaign, IL, Norma Lee Burney, married to Donald Giltner Burney, passed after a brief illness. Donald and Norma met while serving at the McKinley Indian Mission in Toppenish, WA. Mrs. Burney was a graduate of Lincoln Bible Institute in the late 40’s. The Burney’s arrived in Japan in 1955 after Donald had been stationed there while in the Navy. They served in Japan until 1992, when they felt called to move to Russia and spent ten years in Irkutsk & Ust’Iliminsk, Siberia. They returned to Japan in 2003 for a few months and then returned to the US. In 2009, Don had a stroke and passed away. Please keep your thoughts & prayers with the Burney family. |
