Vical "June" Pelton

Vical “June” Pelton, age 97 of Loomis, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 15, 2022 at the Isabella County Medical Care Facility of Mt. Pleasant, surrounded by her family. On June 22, 1925, June was born the middle of seven children to Kamiel and Gladys (Hillard) Stevens in Stanton, MI. She was united in marriage to Clarence Pelton on April 12, 1944, and together they enjoyed thirty-nine years of marriage until the time of Clarence’s passing in December of 1983. June moved to the Central Michigan area in her early childhood, where she remained throughout the rest of her life. During her working years, she prided herself as a homemaker, tending to her house and family of eight, a job in which she excelled so much that she became the “local utility nurse” for the entire Loomis neighborhood. June was a passionate member of the New Hope Fellowship Missionary Church of Loomis. Her other passions included taking walks, reading anything she could get her hands on, crocheting and quilting, as well as her affinity for making and collecting dolls of all types whether they were crocheted, sewn, or ceramic. However, those that knew June best knew that her love for baking was foremost, whether it was her homemade bread, biscuits and gravy, or her highly coveted sugar cookies. June is survived by her five children Ila Davis of Clare, Ruth Ann Reynolds of Farwell, Sue (Howard) Coleman of Clare, Sylvia (Rodney) Kroll of Arizona, and Jay (Sherry) Pelton of Coleman. Other survivors include her grandchildren Kimberly (Jeff) Colpitts, Joe (Janice) Davis, Michelle (Dave Forsberg) Stark, Mark (Jamie) Reynolds, Janelle (Chad) Cooper, and Joshua Pelton, nineteen great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren. June was preceded in death by her parents Kamiel and Gladys Stevens, her husband Clarence Pelton, her daughter Mary, her grandsons Tracy Moore and Jason Kroll, her brothers Velmer and Bud Stevens, her sisters Delphina Clark, Barb Hewitt, Nancy Raymond, and Madeline Reger, and her sons-in-law Joe Davis and Clark Reynolds. A funeral service in honor of June will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Monday, November 21, 2022 at the New Hope Fellowship Missionary Church of Loomis with Pastor Charlie Green officiating. Friends may visit with June’s family on Sunday the 20th from 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. at the Clare Chapel of the Stephenson-Wyman Funeral Home, and then again on Monday at the church from 10:00 A.M. to the time of service. Burial will follow services in the Wise Township Cemetery.
