Dear Rhonda and Family, My sincere sympathy to you and all your family. I met June in the genealogy room at the Newburyport Library several years ago. We are related through the Perkins line. We met again several times when I was visiting Newburyport. The last time was about 3 yrs ago--we slogged through the Highland cemetery during a freezing rain and wind. She was a fun person and it was special to know her. Again, my sympathy to all. June Rupp

June was also a devoted genealogist. She devoted many hours helping to transcribe the early vital records of Massachusetts for the Massachusetts Vital Records Project, http://MA-VitalRecords.org. She was one of our "go to" ladies. We will miss her very much.
