June Boger Sacra of the Addison of Uniontown, Pa. (formerly of Washington, Pa. and Charlottesville, Va.) passed away on November 11, 2025, at the age of 100.

June was born in Sandy Plains (Clarksville), Pa., on February 5, 1925, the youngest of seven children. She graduated from East Bethlehem High School in 1942, then attended the University of Pittsburgh and Montefiore Hospital School of Nursing, graduating in 1947. The government had organized the US Cadet Nurses Corps during WWII, which June was able to join. During her last six months of training, she was sent to Aspinwall Veterans Hospital in Pittsburgh. During her subsequent 40 years in the nursing profession, she held positions in nine different medical facilities. (PA, MO, VA, and NC)

In 1962 she moved to Charlottsville, Va., where she accepted a position in the surgical department of UVA Medical Center. This was later followed by 17 years at Martha Jefferson Hospital, where she held the position of Supervisor of Staff Development, as well as CPR. She and her team also taught staff and employees at MJH and many places of business in the city.

June served the First United Methodist Church in many capacities since 1963: Women's United Methodist Board, Church Council, Staff Parish Committee, Sunday School teacher, Interior Decorating Committee during the renovation of 2001. Following her retirement from nursing, she volunteered in the Church office one day a week for 24 years.

June will always be remembered for her love of life, loving smile, and sincere interest in caring for others. She and Rudy traveled many miles in the U.S., Europe, and a variety of islands. They also loved animals, particularly poodles.
