June Marie Wahlbrink

June Marie Wahlbrink (nee Kersting), 90 years of age, passed away peacefully Sunday, February 22, 2015, at SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital in Jefferson City. She was born on March 28, 1924, in St. Louis, MO to the late Ferdinand Goesse and Ethel Mae Standing Kersting. She was united in marriage on March 5, 1944, in St. Louis, to Kenneth John Wahlbrink, who preceded her in death on April 29, 2012. June graduated in 1942 from Beaumont High School in St. Louis. She attended Miss Hickey's Secretarial School, and was employed in St. Louis for many years as a legal administrative assistant, and for Medigroup, during which time she obtained her Nursing Home Administrator's license. June volunteered for many organizations over the years. Living the majority of her life in St. Louis, she and her husband retired to Sarasota, FL, and in later years resided in Jefferson City. She was a member of First Presbyterian Church, and Meadow Lake Acres Country Club where for her, being on the golf course was the next best thing to being on the beach. She will be sadly missed by her children, grandchildren and friends, for her gentle and unassuming nature, quiet strength, steadfast loyalty and love, and sense of humor. Survivors include one son, Kurt Wahlbrink of Jefferson City, one daughter, Kay Miller (Bill) of Estes Park, CO, and two grandchildren Kate Miller (Steve) Rusch, and Ben Miller, all of Estes Park, CO. She was also preceded in death by an infant daughter, Kristine Marie Wahlbrink. Private family services will be held at a later date. Memorials are suggested to First Presbyterian Church, 324 Madison St., Jefferson City, MO 65101, or a charity of the donor's choice. Dulle-Trimble Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.
