June Droge Obituary
June was teaching third grade in Belgrade, MT, when she met and married Henry John Droge on June 1, 1951. The family grew to five children: Debbie (Randy Williams), David (Carrie Betz), Rebecca (Boenish), Janice (Dan Welch), and Audrey (Rick Nelson).
June had many years of managing her home until health issues resulted in her move to Parkhaven in Manhattan, MT, in September, 2023. To all who brightened her last years with visits and wonderful care, the family is profoundly grateful.
Family and friends remember June as a warm person who truly loved generously and had a strong Christian faith that she lived daily. She had a joyful spontaneous laugh, intelligence, and a humble approach to life. In honor of her desire to help others, the family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations in her name go toward charities of your choice or any that June supported such as Samaritan's Purse (samaritanspurse.org); Belgrade Senior Center, 92 E. Cameron Ave, Belgrade, MT 59714; and Grace Bible Church Missions, 3625 S. 19th Ave., Bozeman, MT 59718.
June is survived by 4 children, 11 grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her brother, Monte Balfour; her sister, Elda Drew; both her husbands, Henry Droge and Buford Myers; her daughter, Janice Welch; and her parents, Alden and Muriel Balfour.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held Saturday, June 21, 2025, 11:00 a.m., at Grace Bible Church Chapel, 3625 S. 19th Ave., Bozeman, MT. Memories and condolences may be shared with the family at www. dahlcares.com.
