JUNE PATRICK

June A. Justin Patrick, 81, of Dousman, WI, passed quietly with family looking over her Nov. 1, 2026. She was born in Homer, MN, the daughter of Julia (Ruegg) and Raymond Sampson.

June was an elementary school teacher and reading specialist, having worked in both White Bear Lake, MN, and Muskego, WI, where she is fondly remembered for having taught thousands of kids who needed extra help to read - this was her passion.

She was the best Mom one could wish for. Her humble example of love and happiness are the foundations her children and grandchildren were able to build their lives around.

June is survived by two sons, Jeff (Sarah) Justin, Jon (Heather) Justin, stepdaughter Dawn Patrick, stepson David (Suzette) Patrick, stepdaughter Deborah Patrick; grandchildren Connor, Kyle, Aly, Conor, Meharu, Tarikua, stepgrandchildren Sean (Nicole), A.J., Steven and Megan. 

She is preceded in death by her parents; her son, Joel Justin; and her two husbands, Mike Patrick and Gerald Justin. 

A memorial service will be held at 12 p.m. Nov. 14, 2026, at the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Black River Falls, with Pastor Jenny Hatleli officiating. Family and friends may gather for a visitation for the two hours prior to the service at church and lunch will follow the service. Inurnment will be private.

Please support the continuing fight for research and removal of Alzheimer’s, which impacts all of us.
