She was a supportive boss to work for and was loved by her employees. Justene was born a force of nature, and she was always ready and eager to be doing things for others. She organized Pee Wee football snacks, manned the snack bar at high school football games, and was always deeply involved in all of Ian's growing up activities. Justene always took charge of decorations for family events. Christmas was her favorite holiday as she decorated her home in grand style. Justene was always willing and able to help others, even at the expense of her own needs. Wherever she is now, she's busy reorganizing things and making friends. She will be greatly missed by so many family and friends, adn her death is a tremendous loss for the Las Vegas community and her family.
