June 3, 1935 ~ January 6, 2017
June Maxine Wascher, 81, of Munger, our kind, strong-willed, and most loyal mother, Marna, sister, aunt, and friend was called home by our Lord & Savior on the evening of January 6, 2017 at Bay Medical Care Facility. June was born in Munger on June 3, 1935, the daughter of the late Floyd and Elsie (Lupcke) Roth. She was a graduate of Bay City Central and went on to write to a sailor in the U.S. Navy by the name of Virgil Wascher. They dated, fell in love, and were united in marriage on July 23, 1955 at Trinity-St. James Lutheran Church in Munger. Sadly, after nearly sixty years of marriage, Virgil preceded June in death on June 14, 2015. June was known for her excellent green thumb and always kept a wonderful garden. Always leading by example, she was a devoted mother and an excellent grandmother role model. In her younger years, June helped her mother prepare school lunches and later worked at Bronner’s for over 25 years after Virgil’s retirement. Be it spending time in Hawaii, partaking in a hunting trip in Wyoming, or staying more local by fishing on the Saginaw Bay, June and Virgil were both known for their love of traveling. June had a heart of gold and will be deeply missed, but lovingly remembered for generations to come. June leaves to cherish her memory, her two sons: Craig and wife, Kathy Wascher and Brian and wife, Judy Wascher. She was the most supportive “Marna” and her legacy will live on with her grandchildren: Christopher and Kyle Wascher, Kaitlyn and husband, Calvin Hugo, Elizabeth and husband, Josh Taylor, Emily and husband, Kevin Spyker and Erica and husband, Mike Golden, who will all miss her cinnamon applesauce and spaghetti with sugar. She adored her great-grandchildren, Benjamin, Anna, Luke, Jacey, and Matthew and also leaves her brother, Louis and wife, Diane Roth; sister, Jan Dornbrock; sisters-in-law, Marla Harrington, Marilyn Yenior, Gloria Marden, Carol Penfold her beloved dog, Sammi and cat, Lucy, along with many nieces, nephews and countless friends. In addition to her parents and her husband, June was welcomed home to heaven by her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Roy and Evelyn (Gilmor) Wascher, and her brother-in-law, Ron Dornbrock.

Our sincerest condolences are sent to Louie, Diane and family on the loss of Louie’s sister. Sometimes the Lord suddenly requests the presence of one of his angels and family and friends are not ready to see them go. But, rest assured, June is in good hands and traveling with her loving husband.
Our deepest sympathy,
Jim English & Sandi Schwartz
I am so sorry. June and I worked together at Bronners and I really missed her when she retired. She was a very friendly employee as well as a good friend. We even took a bus trip to Shipshewana together many years ago. She was already employed when I started working in the “All Seasons” area and she helped me learn “the ropes” of the job. She was a beautiful lady who let everyone know she was a Christian – whether by actions or words. So glad we will see each other in Heaven some day!

I am so sad to hear of Junes passing! I worked with her at Bronner’s for many years. She was a wonderful lady and I am blessed to have known her and called her friend. My heart goes out to her family. I know your wonderful memories of her will keep her alive in your hearts forever. Sending heartfelt thoughts and prayers.
