Jill Mia (Maine) Burnham, 34, of Brainerd, MN, passed away Sunday, December 15, 2024, with her husband Sean at her side and surrounded by those who loved her.
Jill was born on April 30, 1990, in Willmar, MN, to Robert H. Maine and Jacqueline M. (Hartnett).
On June 20th, 2019, Jill married the love of her life, Sean Burnham, and they enjoyed a peaceful life at their home in the Brainerd Lakes Area.
Jill will be deeply missed by her husband, Sean, and his family; her parents, Robert and Jacqueline; siblings, Katie Maine, Sarah Maine (Mitchell), and Jacin Lombardi; her BUM and 4:45 a.m. running family; dear friends, and so many others.
Jill was a remarkable person whose passion, energy, and bright smile touched the lives of those around her.
Her love for her husband Sean, her dog Gibson, gardening, and a yard full of chickens paint a picture of a life deeply connected to nature and her family. Jill was a dedicated runner, devoted to her friends and local running group. The miles spent alongside one another added up to thousands of hours, and the bonds forged there were some of her most cherished. She was also an intentional gift giver - always making the people she loved feel seen and known. She loved to make things from candles to baby blankets. Music was a deep part of her life, and she was often heard exclaiming, "This is my jam," when she found a new song. Jill loved watching movies with her people, and The Lord of Rings held a very fond place in her heart.
Jill faithfully attended church and loved her community. Her love for Jesus shone in how well she loved others, and her servant's heart knew no bounds. Jill prayed daily for those she loved, wanting them to know Christ’s love for them and the true freedom found in living a life for Him.
Visitation for Jill will be Saturday, January 18, 2024 from 10-11:30 AM with the service to follow at 11;30. First Baptist Church in Baxter, Minnesota
She has forever left an impact on all who knew her, and she will be deeply missed.
In lieu of flowers, please consider blessing her husband, Sean. https://www.gofundme.com/f/Jill-burnham
