ESTHER BURGESS It is with deep sadness that the family of Esther Burgess announces her passing on January 17, 2010 at Donwood Manor. Esther was predeceased by her parents: Wilhelm and Fredrikke Nielsen and her husband James Burgess (April 4, 1997). Esther leaves to mourn her passing her daughters Merrilee (Sam) Bovenmyer of Waterloo, Iowa and Karen (Brian) Donaghey of Winnipeg, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Esther and Jim were married on June 30, 1938 and had their honeymoon during what they called Motorcycle Days.
