She was born in Waukesha on March 9, 1929 the daughter of Ervin and Evelyn (nee Staab) Bloede. June was a 1947 graduate of Waukesha High School and on June 25, 1955 she married her beloved husband, Joseph “Joe” Elwell Jackson at the Evangelical and Reformed United Church of Christ. Together they built their current home in 1960 with the excavation occurring on June’s birthday. She stained the wood trim, cabinets, and doors of their home and both of their children’s homes and was always available to help. June was a wonderful mother and was very proud of her children and their families. She instilled her love of swimming into her children by taking them to swim lessons or lifeguarding at various home pools. June was devoted to her grandchildren and in attending their sporting, musical, theatrical, and other events and found great joy in watching them progress through life. She supported the family business with telephone service, bookkeeping and leadership. June loved to travel with her husband, Joe and made seven trips to Canada fishing, forty winter trips to Florida, travelled to 34 foreign countries and had many other trips coast to coast in the United States. Her morning routine started with eating breakfast by watching her birds especially the cardinals. June will be remembered for her homemade chocolate chip cookies which she always stored in an old Crisco can.
She will be sadly and forever missed by her devoted and loving husband of 67 years, Joe of Waukesha and their children, Sandra (Michael) Schick and Robert (Abbie) Jackson; her grandchildren who she adored, Daniel (Sarah), David and Timothy Schick and Samuel and Molly Jackson and her great-granddaughter Hannah Schick.
