June M. Rixen, 67, born December 12, 1951 and died August 13, 2019. She was married to LeRoy A. Rixen.

What do you say about 67 years of life? On one hand, not a lot. It seems like there should be “more”. On the other hand it seemed wholly sufficient; all the little time capsules neatly packaged together and where they belong in sequence. . .birth, early and later education, graduations and marriage, work and retirement, followed by illness and death.

Really what more does life distill down to? If you are reading this expecting a catalog of life events then you really never “knew” this person and are merely curious. If on the other hand, you really did know this person then the content of this one life is part of your own and needs no more explanation or validation. You were a friend.

To friends I say farewell, God Bless and keep you. If you so wish, you may join me in our farewell at a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m., Saturday, August 17, 2019 at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, New Hradec with Fr. Shane Campbell as celebrant. Inurnment will follow at Sts. Peter and Paul Cemetery. Visitation will be Friday from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. with a rosary and vigil at 7 p.m. at Ladbury Funeral Service with Deacon Bob Zent presiding.
