God saw that he was getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around him and whispered, “Come with Me.” With tearful eyes we watched him suffer and watched him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay. His golden heart stopped beating, his hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

June Claassen
ODESSA — June Weber Claassen died at her home early Tuesday morning Sept. 4, 2001. She was born in Hopatcong, N.J., in June 1929. After schooling in New Jersey through high school, June attended Columbia Bible College in South Carolina where she met and married
Joel Ortendahl. Joel was a Baptist minister, soon moving to Texas with June where he first served a church in McKinney and later to Decatur. Joel was pastor of First Baptist Church in Decatur when he died in 1958.
June then attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth where she obtained a bachelor of religious education degree. This led to work on the church staff first in Electra and then in 1964 to Crescent Park Baptist Church in Odessa.
Marriage to Dr. Jack Claassen came in 1968, and with it, a change in membership to First Baptist Church where Jack had been a member since 1951. During the period since then, June has taught a women’s Sunday school class, directed vacation Bible school for a number of years and more recently been co-chairman of the committee which planned the celebration in 1996 of the centennial of service in Odessa of First Baptist Church.
It seems most likely that first signs of the illness that took June’s life were already developing at that time. It is progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). This is an illness based in the supranuclear portion of the brain located at the top of the spinal column. It eventually destroys all sense of balance and the ability to walk unaided, brings near blindness and last of all, destroys the ability to drink or swallow food. Death comes from some illness associated with these bodily hurts.
Those who remain to respect and to love June are Edwin Jack Claassen, husband, of Odessa; Janet Haney, daughter, of Midland; Ed Claassen, son, of Cupertino, Calif.; Susan Loeffler, daughter, of Mason; Charles D. Weber, brother, of Haddonfield, N.J.; six grandchildren, to whom she was always Bama; and five great-grandchildren.
Funeral services are to be at 2 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 6, 2001, at First Baptist Church of Odessa. Dr. Ernest Easley will speak of June’s service as a Christian; Curtis Brewer will sing the Christian songs that June loved. Burial will be in Sunset Memorial Gardens under the direction of Frank W. Wilson Funeral Directors.
