June Gaskill
June Rose Gaskill, 91, of Sullivan, Missouri, joined her beloved husband, Louis (“Bud”), in Eternity, on Thursday, April 1, 2021. She departed surrounded by her loving family.
June was born in Sullivan, Missouri, June 5, 1929, to Dan and Rose (Bandy) Moss. June’s middle name came from both her Mother’s name and a beautiful rosebush the delivering doctor saw outside of the window.
June married her one true love, Louis “Bud” Gaskill, on April 3, 1948.
Upon graduating from Sullivan High School in 1947, June studied Education in Bolivar, Missouri. She first entered the workforce as a school teacher in a small country school outside of Sullivan. June worked at Midwest Shoe Factory in Sullivan before retiring to enjoy time with Bud and their Golden Retriever, Teddy.
June found great pleasure in spending time with her adoring family and crocheting beautiful afghans for her many loved ones and friends. She loved baking and was known for her delicious tarts. June was a member of St. Anthony Catholic Church.
June is survived by three of her children: Patricia Strothcamp (David), Kathleen McCulloch (John), and Dennis Gaskill (Sandy), all of Sullivan; her sister, Anita Jones, of Sullivan; five grandchildren: Erin Smith (Kyle), David McCulloch (Victoria), and Daniel Strothcamp (Adriana), all of Sullivan; Lindsey Rose Reichart (Tom) of Jefferson City, MO, and Cassandra Gaskill (Gabe) of Bentonville, AR; twelve great-grandchildren: Benjamin and Katherine (Erin and Kyle), Blake and Brynn Rose (David and Victoria), Matigan, Quinn, and Adalida (Daniel and Adriana), Lexi Rose (Tom and Lindsey), Mason, Gavin, and Logan (Cassie and Gabe) and honorary great-granddaughter, Maddie Mallory; and nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.
