At the age of 99, June left her earthly world behind.  Her journey in life began in Edgerton, Wisconsin, the daughter of Charles "Brooch" Lund and Hattie (Mielke) Lund.  She lived her early years at the family home on 613 East Fulton St. along with her siblings Charles II, Donald "Dub", and Margie.  After graduation in 1939, she spent the next three years at Milton College.

She was married to Stanley Maves and they lived in El Paso, Texas until his untimely death while serving at Fort Bliss, Texas.  They had one son Dennis.  She later married Donald Hess when he returned from serving his country with Merrills Mauraders in Burma during World War ll.  They had one daughter Marianne.

In 1948 her new home on Pearl Street was built, and there she spent the rest of her life surrounded by her family and a neighborhood of close knit friends.  June Girl Scout leader for her son and daughter.  Many scout meetings were held there.  Her love of gardening grew as she developed the large yard into a space that would entice not only birds and butterflies, but neighbors and citizens who toured it for the Edgerton Garden Walk.  Unforgettable childhood birthdays were held there as well as gatherings with the neighbors to watch the night sky and search for the latest orbiting space craft with its little monkey pilot.

This love of watching the moon and stars followed her to the end.  The friends, a roaring fire in the backyard fire pit, and a jug of wine made a perfect night.  Life on Pearl Street then was lots of fun.

June and Don traveled the country and visited many states as well as touring Germany and Switzerland  in quest of family history.  They were married 62 years when Don died in 2009.  Her parents, siblings and son also preceded her.

She is survived by, Mrs. Dennis (Sharon) Hess of Milton, Wisconsin, Marianne (Jim) Baumann of Kiel, Wisconsin and Jon (Roselyn) Niejalke of Adelaide, Australia.  Also, ten grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren who will miss her greatly and will always think of her when they look at the moon. A private ceremony will be held at Maple Hill Cemetery in Evansville, Wisconsin.

God did a lovely thing last night

when all the world was still and cool.

He filled the sky with stars so bright

they dripped into a garden pool.

The moon, a crescent, bathed in gold

He hung far out into the sky;

And tipped it so its point would hold

A steady gleam if the winds passed by.

He took a dear old lady's hands

And led her up the milky way,

Beyond the lights of northern lands,

Around the tinted rainbow-way.

And when, they reached the land of June,

He put the light out of the moon.
