As a lifelong member of Grace Lutheran Church, June enjoyed helping with Sunday School, OWL’s (Older Wiser Lutherans), and serving on committees for potluck lunches or suppers, banquets and funerals. June enjoyed tying quilts with the women of the church even into her later years, walking from her home at Henrietta Retirement Apartments with her walker so she could be part of the group. She was also a member of the Leah Women’s Bible Study Circle.

June was also a proud member of the Winchester Area Historical Society, Larsen. She was featured in the 2023 It Takes Strong Women book written by the society. Thursdays became her historical society “library” day, where she hopped into her white 1986 Buick and headed to Winchester from her home on Larsen Road, Larsen to help where she was needed or just to socialize.

June was blessed with many special friends and neighbors who helped and visited her as she advanced in age. Namely: Lynn & Russ Simon & family, Dave & Jackie Salm & family, Lois Marotz, the Henrietta Retirement Apartment “family of residents”, the Staff at the VNA, and the Theda Care Hospice staff.
