My heartfelt love and condolences goes out to the Eagles and Squires families. Both families were friends with my parents and grandparents families, the Haywood's. I know June Ann was also friends with my mother in-law, Lena Wood, through the auxiliary. June Ann always had a bright smile and a laugh whenever I would run into her. She always asked about others in my family. She and Mom, Evelynn Haywood, shared many times together raising their children. I remember times together swimming and playing tag with all the kids. The house on Cliff Street had so many cool places to hide. Jack and my dad, Allan Haywood, played together growing up. I recently encountered Lorrie again through BSF.

She is in the loving and forgiving arms of Jesus. God bless all of the family.

I was privileged to serve with June Ann on the BCHS Leila Follies Committee for many years. We all worked hard and had such fun together. She was one of three women in our group who had St. Patrick's Day birthdays. Of course, we celebrated them all. I know how lonely it is to be without your husband and now, she and Lyle will have a happy reunion. I will be unable to be with you but Blessings to the family who will miss her so much.....Love, Gerry Hofer.

Dear Lorie, Julie and Denny,

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. I met her once many years ago and she was so nice for how bad we could be sometimes meaning my brothers and myself. Take time to celebrate her life and all the good she did. Thinking of all of you!

I am sorry to read this. I enjoyed working with June Ann at the food pantry at First Methodist. She was fun to be around and determined to be as independent as possible for as long as possible!! May God comfort you all.

Sending happy memories to the family. Auntie was always so full of energy. I fondly remember the childhood fun & good times at the Cliff St & Wattles homes. Praying she has located all her sisters-in-laws in Heaven & they're enjoying some adult beverages together. Stay focused on all the happy memories. Love & hugs to you all. Celeste & Bill.
