June Elaine Hall Surber, born June 22, 1941, peacefully passed away on January 22, 2025.
June was born and raised in Batavia, Ohio, and spent summers at her grandparents' home in Williamsburg. She found joy in gardening, learning to cook, and creating lasting memories with her beloved Aunt Helen and Grandmother.
For 83 years, June called Cincinnati home. There, she married her high school sweetheart, Jerry, and together they raised their four children: Pam, Jay, Todd, and Stephanie. Despite her busy life as a mother, June brought style, grace, and dignity to every aspect of her life.
A successful entrepreneur, June founded and operated June Surber & Associates, a Cincinnati-based design firm that earned her national recognition. Her artistic talents garnered numerous awards, and she was widely celebrated as a top designer in both residential and commercial design. Her work was featured in various media outlets, including television, radio, newspapers, and magazines.
June's passion for entertaining was evident in her gourmet cooking skills. She was the ultimate hostess, known for delighting family, friends, and business associates alike with her culinary talents.
