June O. Lang

Yukiko was born 1933 in Yokohama, Japan. At a tender, young age, she married a soldier and came to the United States in 1952 as a post war bride. Yukiko Wolf became Americanized by changing her name to June and giving up her traditional kimono dress. Eventually becoming a U.S. citizen, the port of San Francisco remained a special place, which she was able to revisit decades later with her children and grandchildren.

June soon found herself living the American dream in her own home (first Michigan then Texas), along with a houseful of six young children. She was a very busy, selfless, and loving mother when her 1st husband died in service; but Yukiko is a survivor. June worked hard to keep her family together; cleaning homes to support her children, while struggling to put herself through nursing school. She had a long career in nursing, working ICU at a Hotel Dieu, and serving others.

Eventually, she met and married another soldier, OK Lang. They had twins together, bringing their brood to eight. They were stationed of Ft. Bliss, Texas where the children all graduated high school. The family was confirmed at Blessed Sacrament church and raised in the Catholic faith. She remained married for life, caring for her husband at home for several years before his death.

June was a kind, generous, nurturing soul with a wonderful sense of humor. She cared for everybody and maintained a strong faith. She was a prolific gardener, loved cooking and feeding people. June was talented with crochet, and made treasured babe blankets for her many grandchildren. She was devoted to her family, and enjoyed a lifetime of love and purpose because of them.

June believed that God would always take care of her, persevered through life’s hardships, and enjoyed a long, full life. She is survived by her eight children, Janet Patty Cora, Shirley David Christine Glen & Lynda; and blessed with over 20 grandchildren, and several great-grandchildren. She joins her loved ones in Gods kingdom and rests in His loving arms.
