June had a passion for the Lord and witnessed His love through writing, music and traveling. June graduated from SUNY Albany with a master’s degree in English, which she used to teach in various local schools. She also designed a course in creative writing which she used to volunteer her time teaching at the Tri-County Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. June was also a member of the Writers Guild at the Heritage in Florida. Before going home to be with the Lord, June’s book Volume I and II of “Journey Thru the Valley of the Weeping” was published and is available for sale on Amazon. She took lessons in piano, ukulele, and guitar.  Olive Garden and Cracker Barrel were the restaurants she loved to dine at with family and friends. She could often be found reading her Bible, attending women’s Bible studies and gardening.  After Larry’s retirement, June and Larry spent many winters in Webster, Fl making many new lifelong friends. Among the many trips they took together, the most memorable was a mission trip to Africa by way of London.

She will be missed not only by her family but by her friends at the First Baptist Church in Thurman and First Baptist Church in Webster FL.
