She was the treasured wife of Don and the loving mother of Jane (Kulinski), Nancy (Movrich), Todd and Lisa (Smith); greatest mother-in-law of Tom, Nick, Sis and Trent; cherished and adventure-loving grandma to Jennie, Nikki, Kurt, Annie, Sean, Janie, Amy, Trevor, and Craig; cuddly great-grandma to Bruce; precious sister of the late Janice, Marilyn, Rich and Judy; and special friend to nephews, nieces, and many other friends. She will be joining her mother and father, Margaret and Irving Jensen, and her sister, Janice.

June celebrated her entire life making family her priority. She organized birthday parties and trips to build memories. As a family, she traveled all over the world. She taught values of faith and friendship. She shared her love of art and card playing, golf, gardening and shopping. She taught courage and strength, and was always a source of happiness to those around her.

She touched hundreds of students’ lives teaching art at Park View Middle School. She was an avid volunteer in the Wisconsin Association of Student Councils and the Mukwonago Education Foundation. She influenced the lives of so many individuals wherever she went.

A celebration of June’s life will be held at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 28, at Mount Olive Lutheran Church, 211 Main St., Mukwonago. The family will greet friends from 3 p.m. until the time of service at the church.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund will be set up in memory of the June Ulrikson Leadership Fund to provide leadership opportunities to students, or memorials can be directed to Park Walk for Cancer.

The family wishes to thank her wonderful health care providers – Waukesha Memorial Hospital, Froedtert Hospital and the Courage Cancer Center, Horizon Hospice Health Care and all of the family and friends who helped June and her family during her illness.
