Jennifer Lynn Burns

Jennifer Lynn Burns (Johnson) ,55, of New Hope, MN passed away on April 12th, 2024, after a courageous fight with breast cancer, surrounded by her loving children and dog Stanley. Jennifer lived a lively and positive life. Her seven (7) children and three (3) grandchildren were her pride and joy. Jennifer was a happy, smiley, friendly child who carried those traits into adulthood. Even though she suffered from the side effects of her cancer and chemo treatments, Jennifer always stayed positive and happy and did everything she could to lead a positive life and make sure her family was taken care of. Her family and friends describe her as a "Warrior". Jennifer had a gift of making everyone feel like family. She constantly made it a point to check in on people and was always a source of positivity. Her friends describe her as kind, loving, caring, warm, and wonderful. She embodied the best of qualities: unconditional love, strength of spirit, and an unending generosity that could be seen in her care for her children and grandchildren. Jennifer loved her family and would make a point to tell everyone about her children and their accomplishments. She was her family's biggest cheerleader in any activity that they were involved in. Jennifer was big hearted, vibrant, and radiated light. She accepted everyone with an open heart, open arms, and a perpetual smile. She loved watching the MN Vikings and MN Wild even though she knew the outcome would most likely be disappointing. She enjoyed state parks and spending time on, or near, any lake. She especially loved taking her children camping or to Duluth,Grand Marais, and lakefront cabins. She was even able to take road trips up to the North Shore last year with her sister and father and loved to share about the fun adventures they had. Her legacy will continue to resonate in the hearts and the minds of those fortunate enough to have known her. Her kindness, integrity and devotion to her family and friends will forever be cherished. Jennifer is survived by her father Timothy; sister Sherrill (Mark); children Ashley (Joe), Jessica (Justin), Andrew (Hope), Jack, Charles, Samuel, and Maxwell; grand children Mason, Thomas, and Charlotte; her dog Stanley, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Jennifer was preceded in death by her mother Virginia and brother Matthew who will be waiting at the gates of Heaven with open arms. A celebration of Jennifer's life will be held on May 9th 2024 at Grace Church of Eden Prairie, 9301 Eden Prairie Rd, Eden Prairie, Minnesota. A visitation will be held at 11:00 AM followed by a memorial service at 12:00 PM. Please enter through door 2.
