June was known for her beauty, devotion, and loving heart. She leaves a legacy of a life well lived and deeply loved.

June worked for 17 years at the American Greetings Company in Corbin, Kentucky, where she was known for her dedication and strong work ethic. She was a faithful member of Carmichael Community Church in East Bernstadt for more than 35 years, where her love for Jesus guided every part of her life.

A true helpmate to her husband, June took joy in caring for him and spoiled him with love in the way only she could. She took great pride in her home and property keeping everything just right. Whether tending to her garden, especially her tomatoes and flowers, or heading out to shop, with Belk being a favorite stop, June did everything with care and style. She also cherished trips to the beach, where she found rest and joy.

June adored her dog, Molly, and loved her family deeply. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were treasures to her, and she poured into them with love and devotion. Always "put together," June was rarely seen without her makeup and jewelry on, her hair rolled and ready-graceful, polished, and confident. She was truly beautiful inside and out.

June's faith, love for her family, and quiet strength will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
