Never one to sit still, she loved gardening, golfing, and embroidery; later in life, line dancing and water aerobics.

Dear Deb, Kenny and Scott,



Just a note after the fact to recognize June's passing. It has been a terrible month or so and I have felt your pain thru Deb and Jeff. Your mom was doing what she loved to do and golly who can tell their offspring that i crossed over after an African Safari. Not to many can say that. The paid will ease as time goes on but you will always remember and hopefully it will be the good times you all had as a family. God bless you all
