June was born January 26, 1922 in Lincoln, Nebraska to Olive (Ollie) Reitter McMeen and John McMeen. June was preceded in death by Jean, a twin sister who died in childhood; by her husband, Marvin (Red) Nelsen who died in 2000; her eldest daughter, Christie Battle (2001); and Robert Battle (2013). She is survived by her children, Craig (Maggie) Nelsen of West Des Moines, Iowa, Cindy (Ron) Oehmigen of Jamesville, New York and Celia (Tom) Mahoney of West Des Moines, Iowa. She is also survived by eight grandchildren, five great grandchildren with two more great grandchildren on the way. Those that knew June would describe her as a determined, respectful, adventurist, and a life-long learner and avid reader, devouring 3-5 books a week in her prime. June and Red met when they were both students at the University of Nebraska. They married in 1942, and were lifelong partners for 58 years. June was very supportive of her husband and family business. They shared a passion for Des Moines and people. It was a marriage that thrived based on their respect and love of family, business partners and friends. They enjoyed life, spending time dancing, traveling and playing bridge. June was devoted to her children and active in church, teaching Sunday school and supporting their various programs. She was everyone's seamstress. June loved family gatherings, always the first to arrive, and last to leave. A great friend is someone who is stable in thought process, always there to listen and support, offering advice, but never judging. June cherished her friends and was a great one to many. She knew how to handle adversity with grace. No matter the social gathering, everyone wanted to spend time visiting with June. She never missed an opportunity to join Red for business related social gatherings. She went parasailing at 65, and to Disney World at 80 years old. Her spirit was strong and bright. June's sense of humor and willingness to support others in their time of need will be dearly missed. A private family service to celebrate her life will be held next year with interment at Eagle Cemetery in Eagle, Nebraska. The family wishes to express their appreciation for the compassionate care given by the professionals at Edgewater and Taylor House Hospice. Memorial contributions may be directed to Edgewater or Taylor House Hospice. Online condolences are welcome at www.IlesCares.com. Published in Des Moines Register from Dec. 27 to Dec. 29, 2015
