In retirement she enjoyed babysitting for her small grandchildren, traveling, playing pickleball, and bocce ball. In all of these years June lived up to the cliche that, " you can take the girl out of Brooklyn, but you can't take the Brooklyn out of the girl." She was always proud to say she was from Brooklyn.
