After marrying the love of her life, James “Jim” Thomas Lich, they had 2 children, Theresa “Terry” June Lich (deceased) and James “Todd” Lich. The family moved around before she finally laid roots again at her beautiful lake house in Dandridge, Tennessee in 1988. June worked as a radiology technician at Tennessee Breast Center in Maryville, Tennessee up until the age of almost 90, making a huge difference in the lives of countless women. In her spare time, she enjoyed bowling, walking every day, lake life, RVing with her sisters, doting on her Pomeranians, church activities and family time.
