PRICE - Our loving mother and grandmother, June Okelberry Axelgard, passed away peacefully surrounded by her five children on May 21, 2007 in Payson.
June was born in Goshen to Roy and Valina (Rowe) Okelberry on June 25, 1918. She was the eldest of five children. She was raised in Goshen and attended in Payson High and Utah State University. June married Walter T. Axelgard in Goshen on June 23, 1947. She and Walter made their home in Price.
June grew up in the family sheep business, where she spent a lot of her time in the outdoors. She developed a keen understanding and love for all of God's creatures, especially horses. This, she passed on to her children and we are grateful for that.
She was a devoted mother who loved to cook and spend time working in her yard. She and Walt loved to travel and camp later in life with their dear friends.
June had very diverse interests and was at ease whether at the Governor's Ball or herding sheep.
June is survived by five children, Mick (DeAnna) Axelgard of Price; Walter Jr. (LeAnna) of Price; Kevin (Bonnie) Axelgard of Price; Scott and Julie (Ron) Jarvis of Santaquin; nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; sister, Mary Jean Brown; and brothers, Lee and Ray Okelberry. Preceded in death by husband of 57 years; parents; sister, Alta Fitzgerald; granddaughter, Jessica Axelgard; and great-granddaughter, Makala Felice.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to the staff of Latter Day Assisted Living, Santaquin. To Bonnie Ballard for her loving care of our mother during her last days.
We would like to express our gratitude to our extended family for their extraordinary care, help and support fulfilling our mother's needs.

Friends may visit the family at the viewing on Thursday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. in Price at Fausett Mortuary, 680 East 100 South and one hour prior to services on Friday at the church.
