PLYMOUTH TOWNSHIP —
June Marjorie Hecker, age 86, died Monday, May 7, 2012, at her home.
The daughter of Thomas and Anna Walsh, she was born on June 24, 1925, in Harrisburg, Pa., and had moved from Mineral Ridge, Ohio, to Ashtabula twelve years ago.
On Feb. 15, 1944, she married her husband, Clyde Carl Hecker, and together they celebrated sixty-two years of marriage prior to his death on March 9, 2006.
June had a wonderful work ethic; she enjoyed working. She was employed as a bookkeeper for Higley Florist in Girard for more than forty years. She had a passion for her job and for those she worked with. June maintained her many friendships even after her retirement.
Never one to be idle or bored, she had many hobbies and interests. While married to Clyde, they traveled to many interesting places, June’s favorite was French River, Canada. While in Canada, she liked to go fishing and catch Walleye. She also enjoyed telling stories of her great catches.
June was an avid gardener and her family and friends benefited from her “green thumb.” An extraordinary seamstress, baker and cook; everyone enjoyed gathering at her home during the holidays to share food and good times. June shared her time with her two dogs “Toby and Molly” and many times she could be found reading and sharing the same chair with her pets.
A woman of great determination, June suffered a stroke several years ago and through hard work and many struggles, she was able to regain full use of her abilities. She will be remembered for her courage in the face of adversity, her wisdom and gentleness, her warm smile and easy sense of humor, and her unconditional love for friends and family. June loved her children and grandchildren with her whole being and gave so much of her-self to them expecting nothing in return. She will be remembered by those she loved and those that loved her.
She is survived by her children, Phyllis Coburn-Paris (Robert) of Plymouth Township and Dennis (Cathy) Hecker of Columbus; grandchildren, Sean Hecker and Stacy (Brandon) Miller; great-granddaughter, Kylee Marie Miller; and many loving nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her great-granddaughter, Allison Miller on Nov. 16, 2009; her husband, Clyde; brothers, Lester, Gerald and Pete Walsh; her sister, Dorothy Eppley; and her parents.
Funeral Services will be held at 12 p.m., Noon, on Thursday, May 10th, at the DUCRO FUNERAL HOME, 4524 Elm Ave., Ashtabula, Ohio. Burial will be in Maple Grove Cemetery.
Calling Hour will be observed from 11 a.m. until time of Service at the Funeral Home on Thursday.
