June Marie Schram, age 68 of Sturgeon Bay, passed away on Tuesday, January 14, 2025, at her home with her sister, Pam and cousin, Karin at her side. She was born on June 1, 1956, to the late Martin "Gene" and Betty (Krueger) Schram in Sturgeon Bay. She was a 1974 graduate of Sturgeon Bay High School. After high school, she continued her education at the American Beauty College and graduated in 1976. June began her career in cosmetology at the Pompadour Beauty Salon and eventually purchased the business. She ended her career at the Clipper's Mate Salon. Her work continued out of the salon as June would style hair for clients at local nursing homes and area funeral homes. June had a sense of adventure. She traveled the world to places like Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji Islands, England, France, Caribbean Islands and Mexico. When she wasn't exploring, she was cheering on the Green Bay Packers as a season ticket holder and an usherette at Lambeau Field. She was a two-time winner of the "Pickle Crunch Time Catch" at Lambeau field and caught a glove from Reggie White. June's Packer cheers will go down in history. June was an avid gardener with a remarkable green thumb. During the past summer, she and Pam perfected her salsa recipe.

This karate black belt holder also received the Head Start Community Volunteer award at Sturgeon Bay for the 2023-2024 year. She was an active member of St. Peter's Lutheran Church where she volunteered as an usherette. June's generosity and commitment to giving back to her community were hallmarks of her character, often prioritizing the needs of others before her own. Family was paramount to June, and although she did not have children of her own, her nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews received unwavering love and support from their devoted Aunt Junie. June embodied a free-spirited nature, embracing her independence and lively personality, which could effortlessly illuminate a room and bring humor to most situations. While her outgoing demeanor might have suggested otherwise, June was also introspective and possessed a subtle, unexpected wisdom. She lived life in her own charming way. June was one of a kind. She will be greatly missed by family and friends and all who crossed her path. June's family would like to extend a special thank you to the nurses and staff from Unity Hospice for their wonderful and compassionate care.

Raymond Charles Jennerjohn, 95 of Sturgeon Bay, peacefully passed on Monday, January 6, 2025, at Pete and Jelaine Horton Center Skilled Nursing Facility surrounded with family. Ray was born March 28, 1929, in Sturgeon Bay the son of the late Andrew “Elmer” and Dorothy (Delarwelle) Jennerjohn. He graduated from Sturgeon Bay High School in 1947 and served his country as a MP (Military Police) in the US Army in the early 1950’s. He married Ellen Zirbel on September 12, 1953. After returning from service, he worked at Christy Corp. in the early 1950’s as an electrician and pipefitter. He suffered a back injury while working at Christy, but that didn’t stop Ray as he embarked on a 30-year career in logistics for Peninsula Transfer in Sturgeon Bay, relocating homes and businesses throughout the state, Midwest and the United States. He wasn’t done yet as he went to work for Peterson Builders in their maintenance department, delivered auto supplies with NAPA Auto Parts and completed his work history with Cornerstone Conference Center/Baylake Bank at the age of 85. Work was fulfilling for Ray as his priority was honest day’s work, respect for the job and his employers, all of which gave him great pride in his daily work. He was proud to have worked with his sons at many of these jobs including helping at the county fair where he enjoyed harness racing. Having 12 children was a blessing, and Ray did enjoy some time for himself, motorcycle riding with the Door County Vagabonds, tending to his large gardens, and bird watching. But his greatest love was his big family, his children, and all those grandchildren, great-grandchildren; and great-great-grandchildren. He and Ellen strongly supported those children’s families, helping to look after their children as they worked. Raymond is survived by his wife of over 71 years, Ellen; children, Steve Jennerjohn, David (Marion) Jennerjohn, Larry (Jane) Jennerjohn, Diane (Walter) Hanisko, Lois (Matt) Goetz, Bob (significant other, Kim Bagnall) Jennerjohn, Ruth (Gregg) Drexler, Paul Jennerjohn, Patti (significant other, Ray Fuller) Jennerjohn, and Mary (Darrin) Bittorf; grandchildren; great-grandchildren; great-great-grandchildren; sisters-in-law, Ann Edmonds, Nancy Zirbel, Barb Zirbel, Judy Zirbel, and JoAnn (Dean) Baumann; brother-in-law, Rick (Dianne) Zirbel; many nieces and nephews, and many dear friends.

She not only had one green thumb but two of them, finding joy in creating her large gardens, tending to her fruit and floral trees until her health made it too difficult a job to handle. She was passionate about caring for her beloved animals and spending precious time with her grandchildren-who lovingly called her "GMA". These moments brought her great happiness until her illness made it too difficult to continue her activities. Ethel had a love for music all through her life. Her favorite artist most recently, hands down (and louder for those in the back), David Archuleta. Anyone able to know her in these past few years has been introduced to David in one fashion or another. It may have been that she played a song of his for you, or you may have seen her wearing one of the many shirts her daughters have made for her bearing his image or name.

She also leaves behind, ten cherished grandchildren, Brandon (Kori) Zunker, Dawson Christianson, Zackrey Christianson, Christopher and Kaytlin Jost, Christopher and Brinlee Michiels, Isaac Haszel, Payge Bochek, and Saydee Bauldry.
