Callie Lingle
Callie Sue Lingle, 52, died Wednesday, Oct. 22, 2025.
Joining her sister Jodi and brother Bo, she was born on March 3, 1973, to Patsy and Johnny Lingle in Circle, where she spent and cherished her childhood to adolescent years. Her brother Jamie joined the family in 1974. She often spoke fondly of her childhood home in Circle and the memories she shared growing up with her brothers and sister. She graduated from Circle High School in 1991.
Her family grew even larger when Patsy married Oddvar Idland and Johnny married Mary Hogan — she gained five new siblings, Eric, Sadie and Jake Idland and Amanda and Adam Meyer. In January of 1987, Oddvar and Patsy had Jenny Idland with whom Callie had a strong relationship.
In 1994, she married Mike Tennant and gained a stepson, Tyrel Tennant. Together, they had two children, Austin and Courtney Tennant. They spent several years gardening, camping and raising their children together in Callie’s favorite house by the Yellowstone River. Later, they divorced and she moved back home to Circle where she managed the VFW for several years. Although separated, they remained friends and loved getting together to have a beer and talk about their children.
She later married Cody Burman and gained two stepchildren, Shelby and Colton Burman. In 2004, Cody and Callie had one son together, Wyatt John Burman. She was nervous, but over the moon excited to have another child to love and it was one of the happiest days of her life. After a few years, she and her children moved back to Circle following a divorce from Cody.
She enjoyed living and raising her children in Circle and remaining close to her mom and Oddvar, who were a big staple in her life. Over the years, she developed many close friendships and always took anyone in as her own.
