June retired from the Dept. of Defense in St. Louis before moving to Micro, North Carolina. She was devoted to her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and enjoyed having them around. Her favorite past-times were crossword puzzles, family jigsaw puzzle time and working in her yard. She loved going to movies, eating out, and shopping the antique malls and junk stores. She was invited to be a member of MENSA and was a brilliant conversationalist. Her wisdom, wit, and contagious smile will be missed by all.
