card club events. June and Earl were members of the Morgan Methodist Church, and this church family brought great comfort to her after Earl's passing. June was a strong woman and tended to her own business affairs for years as a widow. The great grandchildren knew where her cookie jar was, and that they were always welcome to have as many as they wanted. She created her own soft cookie recipe for her first great grandchild, and named it Kenley's Cookies. She was known for this special cookie until her eyesight failed, and she couldn't continue baking. June enjoyed shopping and pretty decorations. She had many collections that included dolls, owls, salt and pepper shakers, toothpick holders, and music boxes. When June moved to the Hampton Re-Hab Center she noted that this was not her will, but it had to be God's. She told others that if she could help one person there, it would be worth it. June clearly helped many people through her encouragement, and caring heart. She will be greatly missed, but in her last days, when asked if she was excited to see Jesus and Earl, her response was enthusiastic and powerful, "Absolutely," she would find the strength to always say. It was her heart's desire that we would all have that confidence of seeing Jesus someday. June is survived by her son E. Dean Hofsommer (Sandra), Story City, daughter Mary Moody (Robert) Denton, Texas, granddaughter Sherry Ellis (Kevin) Dows, granddaughter Carry Sanderson (Jason) Atlanta, Georgia, grandson Jason Hofsommer (Marcia) Story City, great granddaughter Kenley Ellis (Pete), great grandson Keldon Ellis (Leslie), great grandson Korey Ellis, great granddaughter Alanna Sanderson, great granddaughter Shelby Sanderson, great granddaughter Amanda Hofsommer, great grandson Nick Hofsommer, three great-great grandsons Dake, Lincoln and Devin. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, 3 sisters, 1 brother, 1 half-sister, 1 half-brother.Â
