June Marie Sturm

June Marie Sturm, age 90, of Westlake, Ohio, passed away peacefully on June 27, 2025. Born on June 10, 1935, to the late Edward and Stella Szabo, June lived a life full of grace, generosity, and joyful adventure.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 49 years, Robert Sturm, who passed in May 2025, and her son by marriage, William "Kenny" (Diane) Sturm. She leaves behind a loving family who will carry her memory always: children Laura Kovacs, Lynn (William) Pfeiffer, Robert (Sue) Sturm Jr., and John (Karen) Sturm; grandchildren Megan, Katie, Mike, Christen, Evan, Kaleigh, Mia, Matthew, and Eva; and 12 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her devoted siblings, Rita (the late Walter) Shary, Edward (Gwen) Szabo, and Cynthia (Ben) Girdler.
Together with her husband, June co-owned and operated Professional Travel, headquarters located in Cleveland, Ohio, for over 50 years. Her passion for exploration took her all over the world, and she delighted in discovering new places and cultures.
June's vibrant spirit shone in her love of tennis and golf-where she proudly claimed two hole-in-one. She treasured family gatherings, dinners with lifelong friends, and many years spent in ministry. Her faith was the cornerstone of her life, and her devotion to the Lord was evident in her daily acts of kindness and compassion.
She will be remembered as a woman of wisdom, strength, and a boundless heart. As Proverbs 31:26 so perfectly captures, "She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her lips."
June's legacy is one of love-deeply felt and widely shared. She was a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend who touched countless lives and will be missed beyond measure.
In honor of June's wishes the family will have a private celebration of her life.
