June Kramer
September 28, 1930 - July 1, 2019

Bertha June Van Wyk was born on September 18, 1930, near Sully, Iowa. She was the third of eleven children that were born to Cornelius and Artie (Van Maanen) Van Wyk. June, as she preferred to be known, attended the Fleming and Andreas Country Schools. She made profession of her faith at the Sully Christian Reformed Church in Sully, Iowa and was a current member of the Second Christian Reformed Church in Pella, Iowa, where she had served as a Calvinette counselor. June was an active worker during her lifetime. She served as a waitress at Garden Square Café and then worked at the Rolscreen Company in Pella. With the passing of her father at an early age, June often returned home to help with the work and care of her siblings still at home. June met Ronald Carl Kramer when she brought her car to be serviced at the shop where he worked. They were united in marriage on January 4, 1963, at the parsonage of the Sully Christian Reformed Church. To this union one son, Rustin Jay, was born in November of 1963. For almost 50 years she was involved in her husband’s business, Ron’s Yamaha, as the bookkeeper. June and Ron were privileged to take several trips together to Yamaha conventions. She read the paper regularly, enjoyed doing crossword puzzles, and in later life, volunteered at Work of Our Hands. Family was very important to June as she and her sisters shared many coffeetimes and trips together and she was very proud of and loved to spend time with her three grandchildren. June’s thought processes began to be challenged and she moved to Vriendschap Village in July of 2015. After suffering a fall, she passed away on July 1, 2019, at the Hospice of Pella Comfort House at the age of 88 years. June is survived by her husband, Ronald Kramer, a resident at Homestead of Oskaloosa, Iowa; their son, Rusty Kramer and his wife, Rhinda (Jansen) and their three children, Tyler Jay, Tanner David, and Megan Noelle of Pella. June leaves her brother, Arvin Van Wyk and his wife, Anna Mae, of Pella; her sisters and brothers-in-law: Joyce and Carl De Goey, Darlene and Harris Vos all of Newton, Iowa, Helen and Verlan Brand of Grinnell, Iowa, Carolyn Vande Voort, Judy and Ed Van Kooten all of Sully, Iowa; and the following brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law: Eldred Van Gorp of Newton, Marian (Kramer) and Dan Ten Pas of Oostburg, Wisconsin, Martin and Lola Kramer, Gerald and Carolyn Kramer of Pella.
