June Storm, a longtime Pacific Palisades resident, died quietly in her home on April 15, surrounded by her family. She was 87. Born Theresa June Gleason in Lincoln, Nebraska on June 16, 1918, she moved at a young age with her family to Venice. She graduated from Venice High School in 1935 and from UCLA in 1939 with a major in French and a minor in Spanish. June went to work for Douglas Aircraft, where she met John Alvin (Al) Storm, whom she married in 1941. As a Santa Monica resident for many years, June had three daughters and was a school and community volunteer. In 1957, she helped her husband start Storm Products Company, a manufacturer of electronic wire and cable products. After Al’s death in 2000, June became chairman of the board. In 1962, the Storm family moved to the Palisades, where June made many friends while participating in local activities and playing tennis and volleyball. She was active in the Santa Monica Sister City Club, the John Tracy Clinic and the Palisades Woman’s Club. She is survived by her daughters, Janet Noble of Bainbridge Island, Washington; Sandy Greenwood of Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania; and Nancy Thomson of Lake Forest, Illinois; and six grandchildren. Friends are invited to attend a service at 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 22, at Inglewood Cemetery Park, 720 E. Florence. Donations may be made to the Pacific Palisades Woman’s Club, P.O. Box 292, Pacific Palisades, CA 90272.
