June Mikoloyck, the daughter of Orvie and Dorothy (Larington) Newell was born June 19, 1930, Northwest of Oshkosh in a Sod House across the Creek in Garden County, Nebraska.  She attended school in Garden County and worked at George Thompson’s Drug Store. She met her husband, Harold Mikoloyck, at a dance and on November 17, 1946 they were married in Denver, Colorado. Later they moved to the Oshkosh farm where they were blessed with six children: Larry, Rich, Jolene, Janie, Michael, and Julianne.

June dedicated her life to raising her children. She also had a heart for entertaining friends and family, where she got to host the card club while serving her famous bread. She found joy in cooking not for herself but for others, as she became a substitute cook for Garden County High School. Other than baking her famous Cherry pie, Kolaches, or her Fried Chicken she was also known to have a bountiful orchard and garden. She answered God’s calling to help and serve others, as she would invite friends and neighbors to enjoy the fruits of the garden. Besides being a generous neighbor, June taught CCD classes and was an active member of the Altar Society at St. Elizabeth Catholic Church, and the Red Hat Society. As a grandmother to her 13 grandchildren, she was always there to spoil them with her homemade ice cream and chocolate sauce. Her love and dedication to them was unwavering, no matter how many kids were running around her house. She was kind, generous and always had her doors open to them and chocolate pudding ready for breakfast.

She is dearly missed by her two sisters, Alice Lee Patterson and DeeAnna Schmid of Oshkosh, NE; three sons, Larry Mikoloyck and his wife Jackie of North Platte, NE; Richard Mikoloyck and Cathy of Oshkosh, NE; Mike Mikoloyck and his wife Becky of Albuquerque, NM; and three daughters, Jolene Matson of Aurora, CO; Janie Reeves and husband Jon of Kennard, NE; and Julianne Christensen and husband Andy of Seward, NE; and 13 grandchildren Matthew Mikoloyck, Duggan Matson, Samara Matson, Nicholas Mikoloyck, Mike Fought, Candace Hall, Kyle Reeves, Zachery Mikoloyck, Ashley Mikoloyck, Alexa Hansen, Kelsey Christensen, McKenzie Christensen, and Callen Christensen; 14 great grandchildren; and 3 great great grandchildren.

Preceded in death by Parents, Dorothy and Orvie Newell; Husband, Harold Mikoloyck; sisters, Colleen Ardissono & Helen Ardissono; brother, Bobby Newell; son in law, Jim Matson.
