Very cherished memories of this grand lady and the Gospel dramatic musical productions we worked together at Bethel Temple in the mid to late eighties.
June Chapman - beautiful, vivacious, brilliant, classy, and above all, godly. Can hardly wait to see her again in Heaven!
Maybe the Lord will allow us the joy and privilege there in Glory to do some
more productions together!
June, we love you so very much and hold you close in our hearts.
Love and prayers to all the family....

Mrs. Chapman was the teacher that touched my life the most. I attended her early morning Bible study at DHS. Also, she was my journalism teacher. She invited me to her home for a student Christmas party. We attended the same church for awhile and have seen each other from time to time. She was a wonderful teacher and Christian. She impacted so many students. I am sadden that she has passed, but I know she is with the Lord. Well done Mrs. Chapman. Class of 86

I taught English with June for many years at Denbigh High School. She was a beautiful person inside and out. She welcomed me as a new teacher and was very friendly and helpful. I will always remember her beautiful smile. My condolences to all who loved her.

Mrs Chapman ensured that I knew all things were possible. Her grace and beauty as she walked the halls of DHS were an inspiration. There has NEVER been a time did I not wonder if I was making her proud of me. Sometimes people have no idea of the impact they have on someone´s life...her impact on mine can not be described. Sleep well Mrs, Chapman!!!

June she will be sorely missed. I always loved her creativity and vision for the arts. From motorcycles to dancing angels, to Jesus winning the battle over Satan, to the musical praise of "Arise My Love" to "He Holds the Keys", this lovely lady had a true gift in the ministry of the theater that touched SO MANY lives throughout the years. I am so grateful to have been a part of these blessings. She had given so much of herself sharing her gift selflessly. She was a blessing to all of us!
A darling Angel gone too soon!
We love you June"Big Sis"
May you Rest In Peace!

She was my English teacher at DHS back in 1981/1982. She had a sweet spirit, and she really cared about her students. I've thought of her many times throughout the years. May she find rest and comfort in God's embrace.
