June Chamberlain Sagers McCallum Hellerung passed away peacefully on Octber 17, 2018, at Brookdale Senior Living in Woodstock, Georgia. She was born February 10, 1918 on the Chamberlain Century Farm in Maquoketa, Iowa. She was the middle daughtter of Jennie Wing Chamberlain and Ernest H. Chamberlain. Her older sister was Mona Chamberlain (Bill) Fowler and her younger sister was Heloyce Chamberlain (Hugo) Sagers, all deceased. June's husbands were Blaine Sagers of Maquoketa, Robert McCallum of Atlanta, Georgia, and Frank Hellerung of Alpharetta, Georgia. She outlived them all.
June was an amazing woman, full of life and vitality. She drove in Atlanta traffic until age 96, was known for her beautifal nails and lived in her own home taking care of her beloved dog Brandi and two cats. She loved singing in the Hickory Flat Methodist Church Choir and it was her joy to host all the family at her house in Alpharetta, always welcoming overnight relatives and guests.
She was a long standing member of the Wing Family of America-a heritage group of cousins that retains ownership of the 1641 Wing Fort House in Sandwich, Mass. She attended many reunions at both the Fort House and other sites throughout the United States.
On her 100th birthday, June was guest of honor of a celebration attended by family and friends from all over the country. She amazed everyone with her good health and humour, enjoying a beautifal birthday cake, a bouquet of 100 roses and a Today Show Schmuckers Jelly Jar birthday card. June especially enjoyed posing for fifth generation photos and visiting with all the groups of family descendants.
She is survived by her four children, Gary (Jan) Sagers and Brenda Sagers (Tom) Wickham, of Dubuque, Iowa and Lorene McCallum (Merle) Lee and Bill McCallum of Woodstock; 18 grandchildren, 55 great-grandchildren and 4 great-great- granddaughters.
