She was raised in Sapulpa, Oklahoma and graduated high school there. Later, she attended Central State College in Edmond, Oklahoma. Throughout her life she demonstrated love and compassion to all who knew her. Her home was always warm and inviting and all family members looked up to her as the Matriarch. Throughout her years of service to American Airlines, she was highly esteemed for her integrity and work ethic. She retired in 1987 and enjoyed traveling, spending time with family and playing bridge with her many wonderful friends. Tirelessly, she served others, by delivering Meals on Wheels, volunteering at St. Francis Hospital Auxiliary in Broken Arrow. As a breast cancer survivor, she was instrumental in facilitating support groups at St. John Hospital. A devoted Catholic, June volunteered for many years at St. Thomas More Catholic Church serving as a Eucharistic Minister and also assisting in the Parish Office.
