June Dannenberg

May 25, 1926 - March 10, 2019

June (Weaver) Dannenberg June passed away, Sunday, March 10, in her sleep, at the age of 92, in Escondido. She was born Ethel June Weaver on May 25, 1926 to Elmer and Bertha Weaver in the small farming town of St James, Missouri. She was the eldest of six siblings. She moved to Escondido at age 16 and graduated from Escondido High School. She worked in Accounting for Sears Roebuck and SDG&E, but it was when she went to work for O. Doyle Dannenberg as a Receptionist, that her life took a big turn. They married in 1971 and blended their families. Years later, she started two advertising specialty businesses, LeShore Calgift and Escondido Ad Market. She received an Honorary Degree in Specialty Advertising, Distribution and Management from the University of Wisconsin in 1980. She was active in Church, Business and her Community. She has been a leader in all. Some Associations include: Bethel Baptist Church (where she and Doyle were leaders and members for 40 years), First Christian Church, Escondido Business and Professional Women's Club (Past Vice President), Women's Auxiliaries of both the San Diego and CA Optometric Associations (Past President). She was a Toastmistress and tremendous supporter of the Escondido Rotary Club, where Doyle was known as Mr Rotary. She lead, taught or helped wherever she saw a need. Where Doyle was, you would find June, nearby. Whenever possible, they were together. Doyle passed in 2006. More than what she accomplished, what stood out about June, was her love for the Lord, her Family, her Church, her many Friends, and the list is endless, because she embodied love for everyone. Not just ordinary love, but the kind of Love that comes from Heaven. Children and animals received an extra helping, and with babies, she was off the charts! That love saw her through some very difficult years of memory loss. As she faced that overwhelming challenge, she never lost her positive spirit and continued to be loving to all. She was always trying to help others and sharing a hug and a smile with everyone. Siblings, Eugene, Louise, Robert and Mary all preceded her in passing She had two children who have previously passed away, Linda Sue Hartshorn in 1991 and James Robert Logan in 2013.
