June, a native of California was the youngest of eight children of Idar and Johanna Stangbye from Norway.

She attended David Lubin/Theodore Judah elementary school, Kit Carson Jr. High School, and Sacramento High School, graduating in 1938 the same year she married Albert Hullin, also of Sacramento. For the next several decades they moved every five years as the job required. June made sure each house was 'home' and generally decorated with plenty of the color blue to match her amazing blue eyes. They also accumulated over eight years of vacation time in Hawaii, owning a condo on the beach in Maui. Twenty years ago they moved to Tracy to be near their daughter and grandchildren In 2008 they celebrated their 70th Anniversary with family.

June was proud to be known as a 'house wife' and only worked several years for the State of California while her daughter went to college. She had been active in many Newcomers clubs, the Alamo Women's Club, and the Sacramento SPCA along with Al's aunt Dorothy Hullin.
