She received her bachelor's of science degree from Southern Connecticut State University, her master's of science degree from Central Connecticut State University, and her sixth year post master's degree from Southern Connecticut State University.

She was honored as the 2009-2010 Yalesville School Teacher of the Year and touched many families' lives over the course of her career.
June spent her retirement visiting family and friends as well as spending time at her beloved cottage by the beach in Maine.

Julie and Jodie,
Our deepest sympathy to you and your families. Your mom was a wonderful teacher to my children and friend to us all over the years. She was very proud of you both and spoke of you often. I will never forget her smile, the mischevious twinkle in her eye and the heart that was bigger than any I had ever known. All of us that knew her loved her and will keep her in our hearts forever. We will keep you and your families in our thoughts and hope that you know that she will be there watching over you forever with love.

Dear Julie, Jodie and Family,
Your mom was my very best friend from kindergarten to junior high school when my family moved to Cape Cod. I don't know if you remember, but you all visited me and my daughters when you were little girls. Your mom was very special, and although we were not in touch recently I have never forgotten her and the special friendship and good times we shared as little girls growing up. My prayers are with you all at this time.

I am so sorry to hear of this news. I was one of Ms. Lange's first-grade students about 15 years ago. I'm sad that I haven't visited her since and now it's too late. She was one of my favorite teachers. She was always happy and made others, especially her students, feel the same way. I send out sympathy to her family.

Dear Julie, Jodie, and Family,
Sending your family my deepest sympathies at this time. Your mom was a wonderful person and meant so much to many. She was a great teacher and mentor to me as a child. She was always a great cheerleader to us in Volleyball at FHS too. I will never forget the great night our mothers planned at the end of one of our seasons, it was such fun. I wish I could be there for you in person, as you were for me. I am sending you a giant hug from VA!

Jodie and Julie,
Your mom meant so much to so many. Reading all the beautiful things people said about her, I realized that she made everyone feel the way I felt knowing her. She was so much more than a friend and no words can describe how she will be missed. Love to you both!

I am so sorry to hear that June has passed. I haven't seen her in a while and didn't know that she was ill. June was my daughter, Jessica's kindergarten teacher and my son, Ryan's second grade teacher at Cook Hill. I remember when she brought her daughters to school with her. My husband, Don played guitar for her party to celebrate life. June never seemed to be in a bad mood. She was always smiling and very warm. The kids loved her as well as their parents. I'm sorry I won't see her anymore. God bless your family at this difficult time.

So sorry for your loss. I remember meeting your mom in college. I think she took us to lunch. I remember thinking what a remarkable woman she was then and even more so, now. Thinking of you and your families through this difficult time.
