•Groves, Leslie R., Hilton: 79, peacefully in her sleep March 20, 2015. Leslie was born in Rochester to George & Irene Burandt on April 11, 1935. Graduated from Charlotte High School and shortly thereafter married Michael Richard Groves in 1954. Leslie was a homemaker, and enjoyed the outdoors, reading, and spending time with her family. A remarkable woman whom the good Lord so loved, He marked her passing with a total eclipse of the sun in the northern hemisphere. She is predeceased by her parents, George & Irene; brothers, George Jr. & John Burandt; sisters, Jeanne Nolan & Ruth Crouch. Survived by husband, Michael “Dick”; sister, June “Irene” Burandt; sons, Michael Jr., Steven (Mavis), & Scott; granddaughters, Jenifer & Elle Groves; and her little dog Lilly, whom like the rest of us will be lost without her.
At Leslie’s request there will be no formal Viewing or Services. In lieu of flowers, donations to charity of choice or Northstar Sportsmen Club. Arrangements entrusted to Thomas E. Burger Funeral Home.
