Obituary for Anita 'June' Jabs
Anita, known to all as June, was born June 25, 1937 to Charles and Bessie Byers Dover in Lewistown, MT. June graduated from Buffalo High School in 1955, continuing on to Billings Business College in Billings, Mt.
June passed at the age of 86 March 22, 2024, after a short hospital stay, from cancer.
June was preceded in death by her husband Harry, her parents, son Melvin, sisters Ruth Parnell and Mary Alice Davlin, brother Thomas (infant), and grandchildren Anthony Olsen and Valerie Olsen.
After marrying in 1958 they lived in St Xavier MT. Shortly afterwards, in December of 1960, they ventured out and found the ranch land in Melville MT that became their home for 64 years, where they made their living and raised their family.
March 22 would have been their 66th wedding anniversary so they were able to spend it together.
The couple leave behind 4 surviving children: Gayle (Vernon) Grimsrud of Helena MT, Glenda Olsen of Colorado Springs, CO, Brenda Boeckel of Thornton, CO. and Tim Jabs of Spokane, WA., 8 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren, and Harry’s surviving brothers and sisters.
Viewing for June will be held at Stenberg Funeral Home in Big Timber Saturday March 30th at 1:00pm. A graveside service for June and Harry will be at 2:30pm at Mountain View Cemetery where they will be put to rest next to son Melvin. Service will include military honors for Harry. A gathering will be held afterwards at the American Legion Club.
