Where Caring Is A Family Tradition
June Lee, age, 84, of Ripon, passed away on March 31, 2012, at home with her children by her side.
She was born July 1, 1927 in Omro, Wisconsin, the daughter of the late Clayton and Mae (Stewart) Wightman. She married Kenneth Lee on May 4, 1946, at the Borth United Methodist Church where they were members for many years. They spent 39 wonderful years together until Ken's death in 1985.
She was the food service director at Juliette Manor in Berlin for 20 years. Over the years June had many interests including drawing, playing the piano, traveling, gardening, and sports. She loved her family, friends, the Packers, and the Brewers, usually in that order. She was a great mother because each child felt they were her favorite.
She is survived by her children, Larry, Redgranite; Sharon (Jerel) Ballard, Ripon; Joan (Tim) Koch, Berlin; Doug, Berlin; and Bill (Lisa), New London; her grandchildren, Jaime (fiance, Troy) Lee, Eric Lee, Clayton Ballard, Lance (Kara) Ballard, Michael Koch, Les (Kristen) Lee, Ken Lee, Megan Lee, and Sydney Lee; her great-grandchildren, Josie, Paxton, Mason, and Alec. She is also survived by her sister Ardis Reaves, of Lincoln, IL; her in-laws, Bob and Louise Lee, of Omro, WI, Bernice and Norman Flannigan and Janice Lee all of Winneconne, WI and many nieces and nephews and good friends.

June hired me as a dietary assistant at JM Nursing home way back in 1989 (I an still there). At the time I only wanted to work the 4 pm to 8 pm shift because I did not want to leave my 2 small children with a sitter. I will never forget how understanding she was of this.
Also, she was always so kind, easy to talk to and share a laugh with. She always acted and looked so professional in her lab coat. She had standards in that kitchen and she would not compromise them. I've always admired her for that. The picture you have included in her
obituary is just how I remember her. A great lady
