June E. (Denton) Klein

Dublin, OH – June E. (Denton) Klein, 98, of Dublin, OH, former longtime resident of Huron, passed away, Wednesday, November 16, 2022.

She was born October 14, 1924 and was a graduate of The Ohio State University, earning a B.S. in Education.  She taught pre-school for 45 years at Wee People Nursery School at Christ Episcopal Church, Huron.

A devout Christian Scientist, she still attended church at the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Columbus, Ohio.  She met her husband of 71 years, Richard “Dick” Klein at an Ohio State – Michigan game.  They married September of 1949. June was an avid gardener, piano player and photographer and loved to travel.  She and Dick ventured to over 95 countries.  Their last trip was to Iceland in 2019 while both in their 90’s.
