She is survived by her son, Sam Schirmer and his wife, Gina, of Sullivans Island, SC; two daughters, Gloria S.

Sonny has docked the Sammy J one last time to retrieve the catch of his life, June Smith Schirmer. Her sumptuous low country culinary skills, soothing sweet tea, and melodious refrain, Isn't that precious! will remain fond, nostalgic memories for many.

She was the most 'precious' person I have ever known, or ever will know. I will carry her with me always. Much love my neighbors.

To the Schirmer family.
I have known June most of my life. Ever since we use to rent a house right behind the Schirmer's house.
Sonny use to drive his jeep in the dunes with me.
Gloria use to go to Kindergarten with me.
It all seems like a blurr! Then you'll moved to the house of happiness and we rode horses. What a Great time I had with you and your family.
I will never forget you!
Love you all!
