Junia D. Stuyvenberg, age 84, died Monday, September 29, 2014, at the St. Paul Villa. Born in Little Chute on December 18, 1929, to the late John and Elizabeth (Vanden Heuvel) Hietpas, June married Robert H. Stuyvenberg on July 9, 1949, at St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church in Little Chute. Robert preceded June in death on September 11, 1995.
June loved the lively give-and-take of good conversation: "By the same token," she would often say before offering a different view. She also enjoyed playing cards, cooking, baking, drinking an occasional glass of Mogen David, and sharing triple-chocolate donuts with relatives. She cherished her time with her family—especially her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren—and remained close to her many brothers and sisters.
June is survived by her children, Barb (Brady) Brown, Hamilton, OH; Lee (Cathie), Green Bay; Tim (Pat), Scottsdale, AZ; Tom, Cecil; and John (Mary Svitavsky) Stuyvenberg, Menasha. She is also survived by eight grandchildren: Tim and Dan (Debby) Ebben, and Drew (Daphne Pee), Matt (Stephanie), Katie, Sarah (fiancé Dennis Zaugg), Aaron, and Luke Stuyvenberg; as well as three great-grandchildren Ada True, Eleanor, and Macklin. Brothers, John (Shirley), Luke (Rose), Mark (Linda), Tom (Sheila) and Mike (Jo) Hietpas; and sisters, Margaret (Carl) Peeters, Clare (Lee) Van Boxtel, and Sheila (Clyde) Schepp. Brothers and sisters-in-law, Mary (Larry) Vander Pas, Betty Ludwig, Russ Harmon, Lois Hietpas; and Eugene, Lenore, Karen, Pat, and Nancy Stuyvenberg survive her, as well. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
In addition to her husband and parents, June was preceded in death by her infant son, Dan; by twin grandchildren, Adam and Justin; by siblings Don (Dorothy) Hietpas, Mary Joyce (Emmett) McMorrow, Helen Harmon, Claude Hietpas, and infant brother, Matthew Hietpas, as well as by brothers-and sisters-in-law, Evelyn Hietpas, Rita (Carl) Rehfeldt, and Kenneth, Donald (Dorothy), Paul, Gerald, and Richard Stuyvenberg.
