June Marie Heller
On June 20, 1929, June Marie Wenzel was born to Rudolph and Emma Wenzel and shortly afterwards became a child of God through Holy Baptism. In high school she met her future husband, Robert Heller, and they were married at St. John Lutheran Church in Rogers City January 1, 1948.
June kept busy as a receptionist for the local physicians’ office while also spending time teaching sewing to 4-H children, remodeling their home, being active in church activities, and going to card parties to play spitzer with friends. Most of all, she was a fun and loving mom who enjoyed ice skating in the winter and camping in the summer with the family.
God was a very important cornerstone in her family life and it goes to show. She was blessed with not only one pastor son, but two in her family. What a joy! Her daughter became a nurse to care for the sick and mentor to other health care workers.
Robert and June had three children – Delynn (Dennis) Greenman of Holt; Rev. David (Linda) Heller of Blue Ridge, Georgia; and Rev. Richard (Doris) Heller of Park Ridge, Illinois.
