June Marie Fouch

1943 - 2025

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of June Marie Fouch, a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, who left this world on April 8, 2025, at the age of 82. June was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 31 years, Jimmy Gene Fouch; her parents, Helen and Ray Butler; and her brothers, George and Bill. She is survived by her children: Richard Lubking, Rebecca Keithley, and Todd Lubking, who were the light of her life. She is also survived by her cherished grandchildren: Robin Hanington, Cassie Odoms, and Jesse Lubking; her great-granddaughter, Amity; her loving stepchildren: Matt (Laura), Luke (Daquiri), and Nick (Esther); nine adored step-grandchildren; and her brother Robert (Lila), whom she loved dearly.

June was raised in Weiser, Idaho, surrounded by the love of her parents and three brothers. As a young woman, she ventured out on her own and spent time living in Arizona, Arkansas, and Texas, where she faced life's challenges and embraced new adventures. She eventually returned to Idaho with her three children, ready to begin a new chapter close to home.

It was in Weiser that June opened her own sandwich shop, The Yellow Submarine, a business fueled by her creativity and determination. It was also there that she met her future husband, Jim. The two quickly fell in love, blended their families, and married in 1990. Together, they built a life full of laughter, love, and adventure. They owned homes in Weiser, Cascade, Meridian, Eagle, and Boise. With June's love for thrift stores and yard sales and Jim's sense of humor, they affectionately called each new place the "Cram-a-lot Inn."

June was known for her strong will, her kind and generous heart, and her deep devotion to family. She shared special and unique bonds with each of her children and grandchildren, always making them feel unconditionally loved and supported. She spent quality time with her grandchildren, teaching many of them how to play piano, which was one of her lifelong passions. Her home was always full of music, warmth, and creativity. She and her daughter Becky were inseparable in her later years, spending their days laughing, crafting, and playing Rummikub. Her loyal dog Ollie was always close by.

June also had a love for travel. She and Jim spent countless days exploring together in their mobile home, making memories in every state they visited. She was endlessly curious, resourceful, and had a special knack for finding beauty in the little things, especially if it came from a thrift shop or yard sale.

In accordance with her wishes, there was no formal service. June was cremated and lovingly placed in the urn that she and Jim had picked out together. Their shared urn, affectionately engraved with "Cram-a-lot Urn," was then laid to rest in their shared plot, where they now rest side by side in peace.

She will be deeply missed, fiercely loved, and forever remembered.
