June Frieda, nee Sinn, Juenger, 81, born on September 6th, 1931, formerly of Marissa, Illinois, passed away peacefully on March 27th, 2013 at Chandler Regional Hospital in Arizona. She was one of the identical twin girls born to Alma and Henry Sinn. June lived in Denver with her daughter, Stephanie for the past 23 years but they most recently moved to the Phoenix area to enjoy the warm winters. June also traveled back to Illinois to stay with her son, Jerry, and visit relatives whenever possible.
June’s love and devotion to her family and friends will never be forgotten. Throughout her life, she displayed tremendous courage and strength along with a wonderful sense of humor. She retired after fifteen years as a Walmart People Greeter in Denver and earlier in her life, worked at Reaban’s Restaurant (now Doreen’s) and the old “Railroad Café” in Sparta, Illinois. She was a past member of Friedens United Church of Christ where she was baptized & confirmed and often sang in the choir. “Junebug” loved Cardinal & Rockies baseball, Pinochle, bingo and coin collecting. Always generous & compassionate, she was a faithful contributor to the American Red Cross, Susan G. Komen Foundation and the Denver Rescue Mission.
She was preceded in death by mother, Alma (Meyer) Sinn and father, Henry H. Sinn;
two teenage sons, Stephen Paul & David Ronald Juenger; twin sister, JoAnne (Sinn) Thornton; niece, Linda (Thornton) Shubert; oldest sister, Imogene(Sinn) Heil; sister-in-law, Marilyn (Mooney) Sinn; sister-in-law Rosie(Juenger) Mullins; brother-in- law, Harold Birkner; and ex-husband, Clyde E. Juenger.
June is survived by her daughter, Stephanie (Chris) Wallace of Denver, Colorado; son, Jerry (Janel) Juenger of Marissa, Illinois; brother, Paul (Marilyn) Sinn of Marissa, Illinois and brother, Ronnie Sinn of St. Libory, Illinois; seven grandchildren – Lindsay (Matt) Steely of O’Fallon, Illinois; Paul Juenger of Shiloh, Illinois; Amanda Wallace of Los Angeles, California; Ashlee, Sam & Laura Scheid of Marissa, Illinois; and six great grandchildren – Landon, Hannah, Stella, Scarlet, Trinity and Jayden.

June was a bright ray of sunshine at Rebans. She was my second Mom when I worked there as a teenager. We also stayed in touch for many years until we both moved to different states. I often thought about her and all the fun we had way back when working for Bob & Sarah. Rest in Peace dear friend!
