If June touched your life, you know what a caring, giving and loving person she was. She adored children and her house was always the center of the neighborhood. Her gracious acts of love and kindness were felt by many people. She was known for her incredible cooking and her willingness to give to others sacrificially. Her family is thankful for all that she taught and gave them over so many years.
June was an active member of Raleigh Court Methodist Church, and, along with her husband, Roy, served as Youth Counselor.
Special thanks go to the good people at Carilion Hospice who helped out so much during her last days.
