My deepest sympathy to sweet June's family. I worked with June's for years at Osco. We had alot of fun! I will always remember her with fondness. She was a joy to know. Heaven gained a special Angel! God speed June!

Lots of great memories of Aunt
Junie from when I was a little girl. June was petite and I remember a shopping trip when June was in the dressing room trying on a dress. The saleslady stuck her head in and asked if she needed any help. Petite June replied, No, thank you. I´ve been dressing myself for quite some time now.
Petite, but spunky.
Love and prayers to all the family. She and Floyd are together again.
