Filling her family’s hearts with love and joyful anticipation, Juniper Lois Mader had an expected delivery date of November 14, 2016. The joyful anticipation turned into devastating heartbreak when Juniper was delivered at 7:35 a.m. on Tuesday, July 5, 2016 at the Buffalo Hospital, after her tiny heart stopped beating. She weighed 1 lb. 0.6 oz. and was 11 inches tall. A precious gift from God, June blessed her parents’ hearts with the sound of her heartbeat and the fluttering of her movements as she grew in her mother’s womb for 21 weeks. Big sister, Emma, eagerly awaited her arrival. The hopes and dreams for Juniper will become cherished memories for those that so dearly loved her.

Juniper is survived by her parents, Ryan and Janice (Barthel) Mader of Maple Lake; big sister, Emma Spike of Maple Lake; grandmother, Jean Barthel of Albertville; great grandmother, Betty Barthel of Albertville; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and other family members. Juniper was preceded in death by grandparents, Thomas Barthel and Lois & Russ Mader, great grandparents, and twin siblings.
