June Eileen (Gieseke) Anders was born Jan. 26, 1924, in Rutland Township, Martin County, Minn., the daughter of Herman and Anna (Johnson) Gieseke. She attended District 80 country school in Rutland Township and later graduated from Fairmont High School.

On Feb. 27, 1943, June was united in marriage to Gerald Anders at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Fairmont. This union was blessed with three daughters, Joyce, Janice, and Joan. The couple rented a farm near Fairmont for three years before purchasing the Fred Anders farm where they lived for 60 years. June and Gerald retired from farming in 1988 and moved to Fairmont in 2006. They shared over 77 years together. June was a long-time member of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Fairmont. When she wasn’t busy helping Gerald on the farm, June enjoyed traveling, gardening, and canning. She also did some applique and embroidery on tea towels and pillowcases for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
