June Genger Obituary
June 12, 1940 - March 27, 2025
On the afternoon of March 27, 2025, June pass away peacefully at the age of 84.
June was born in June 1940, the second youngest of 5 siblings. She spent her childhood and teen years in Fairfield MT before attending the University of Montana and graduating with a business degree. June married Wayne Hoffman (divorced) in 1962 and soon they moved abroad spending six years in Newfoundland, Germany and England teaching children of Air Force personnel during the school year and traveling throughout Europe during the summers. After having two children while at Lakenheath AFB, the couple moved back to Montana to raise their new family. In 1974 June returned to school at Eastern Montana College obtaining an accounting degree and achieving a CPA license in 1980. She spent her accounting career working at Hoffman Accounting and as a CPA for Billings area companies. Though she thoroughly enjoyed her career, she chose to fully retire at 74 to enjoy working on her home and traveling. She was an avid supporter and season ticket holder of Studio Theater and the Billings Symphony. June was also generous with her time, volunteering as a board member, treasurer, or accountant for many non-profits such as Habitat for Humanity, Global Village, Ping Foundation, UCC Conference and Mayflower Congregational Church of which she was a member for over 45 years. Towards the end of her life, she lived at West Park Village where she had existing friends and met new ones. She was friendly with the staff who enjoyed her dry sense of humor and kindness. June is survived by her son Eric (Jennifer) Hoffman, daughter Julie (Chari) Hoffman, grandsons Quinn and Zachary Hoffman and sister Connie Genger. She is preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Daisy Genger, and three of her siblings: Ward Genger, Patsy Barrett and Nadine Mutch. Services will be held at Mayflower Congregational Church on Saturday April 12th, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, June would prefer donations be made to Mayflower Congregational Church in her name.

In our Mont.N.Wy.Conf. meetings June was able to explain Conference finances in a way that was understandable. I appreciated this greatly.
Her smiles and sense of humor at our Women's Retreats (at Camp Mimanagish) were memorable.

I had several interesting trips to camp Mimanagish with June. Her humor was always caught me off guard. The best project we worked on was getting the church on a new well... she was a huge part of Mayflower´s family!

I had the pleasure of singing in the choir at Mayflower church with June and got to know her. She was such a wonderful person. Even when she was no longer singing with us, she always mouthed the words while she watched us sing. I already miss seeing her face in the congrigation. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
