June M. Reesman

June Reesman: beloved mother, doting grandmother, and baseball afficionado, passed away suddenly on Wednesday, July 18th, 2012 at Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville. Her generous spirit and effervescent love of life will be missed by her family and the many people she touched during her 77 years. June's life was like a thrilling game of baseball: every minute jam-packed with action, culminating with her sliding into home base, leaving everything she had and no regrets, out on the field. She was born on June 21st, 1935 to Charles and Edna Garland in Kenosha, Wisconsin. She started life swinging, the second youngest of five children, and rounded first base by graduating high school at a precocious 15 years of age. June was a resident of Milwaukee, WI and Detroit MI for much of her professional life, leading off and stealing second while working as a concierge for the Marriott Hotel and Riverfront Towers, and later as an executive assistant at Teradyne in Northbrook, IL. Her incredible gift for working with people and providing excellent customer service landed her in the company of major league baseball umpires, celebrities, and regular joes alike. June's work helping people from all walks of life brought her great happiness and fulfillment. She tagged third base, moving to Vernon Hills, IL, where she spent the past 7 years of her life. June loved her family most of all, spending much of her time visiting her children, grandchildren, and siblings. She slid into home, dust flying, leaving sadness in our hearts but having lived her final days to their absolute fullest by attending a Yankee game as a belated birthday celebration in New York City. Surviving are three children: Pam (Bill) Saxelby of Libertyville, David Reesman of Greenfield, WI, and Patrick Reesman of Phoenix, AZ. Seven grandchildren: Anne (Patrick) Martins, Megan Saxelby, Bill (Megan) Saxelby, Rick Reesman, Eric (Heather) Reesman, Nick (Nicole) Reesman, and David Reesman; Two great grandchildren, Caiyden and Wyatt; a sister Florence Lentz, and a brother Ralph Garland. She was preceded in death by her parents, by her sister Caroline Romie, and her brother Jack Garland.
