      Ada was born on March 17, 1924, to William and Dora (Knaack) Erdman. On July 7, 1950, she was united in marriage to Jack Burton. Ada was a very creative and artistic person, loved crafts, embroidery and was a gifted seamstress. Ada was an accomplished bowler and played cribbage with her husband daily. She was a faithful and active member of Mount Calvary Ev. Lutheran Church, a member of the first confirmation class and participated in Ladies Aid for many years. Ada liked to volunteer at the Bargain Garden Thrift Shop and knitted caps for newborns at the hospital. She was a good cook, made the best pies, and always loved to help. Most of all her family was important to her, and whenever asked what she wanted, she would reply “Good Kids.”
