June grew up on a farm in West Jersey IL and graduated from Toulon High School. She worked at Gale Products/OMC in Galesburg, IL, for 15 years, where they made Lawn-Boy Lawn Mowers. She liked to quilt pictures and clip art. In addition to quilting, she liked to travel on charted bus events and went on many cruses all over the world. She was particularly fond of the condo they owned in Bullhead City, AZ, where they spent the winters entertaining friends and attending shows at the Laughlin, NV, casinos. June and her husband Ron loved to dance. They competed competitively in country dancing for 7 years, receiving many honors in Division 1 Senior Dancing throughout the United States. June's memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends. She will be missed.
