JUNE M. BREWER

Cedar Rapids

June M. Brewer, 93, of Cedar Rapids, died peacefully Monday, Sept. 28, 2015, at her home.

A celebration of life will be 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, at Echo Hill Church in Cedar Rapids. Friends may visit after the service at the church with refresh-ments to follow.

June was born at home in Marion on June 22, 1922, to George and Bertha (Smith) Clatterbuck. She graduated from Springville High School and then Lennox College in Hopkinton, with a degree in teaching. She taught at Buckcreek School, worked for the Lilly Tulip Co. in Chicago, and later was an AV assistant at Taft Middle School in Cedar Rapids, where she retired in 1987.

While at college, she met Kenneth Brewer, and they were married March 8, 1947, at First Presbyterian Church in Marion. After living eight years in Central City, they moved for a short time to Fort Madison and then to Cedar Rapids in 1956.

June was a longtime member of Kenwood Park Presbyterian Church and enjoyed singing in the choir for most of her adult life. She volunteered for the Cedar Rapids Symphony for many years.

June's greatest joy was raising her two children and spending time with her grandchildren and great-nieces and great-nephews. Her legacy of care and compassion lives on in them. She was always willing to lend a helping hand and took great joy in entertaining friends and family.

She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, son John and brother Eugene Clatterbuck.

She is survived by her daughter, Linda Logue; three grandchildren, Melissa Loge (Ed Litter), Michael Logue and Nathan (Erin) Logue, all of Colorado; three great-grandchildren, Valory Henderson, Emmett Friend and Nolan Logue; sister, Clarice Murphy of Cedar Rapids; and many nieces and nephews.

In lieu of other expressions of sympathy, memorials may be made to Echo Hill Presbyterian Church.
