June studied Home Economics at Ohio University. She was a devoted wife and loving mother to five children. Gifted with a beautiful voice, June was a life-long singer, performing in many women’s ensembles and choirs. She attended Church of the Redeemer UMC for more than 40 years where she served in countless ways. She played an integral part in publishing several cookbooks with the United Methodist Women and passed her joy of cooking to her children. June imparted her faith, kindness and love of nature to her family. She made every holiday and birthday special and was kind to everyone she met. June was a Buckeye fan through and through. This sweetheart of a couple had such a strong bond they passed just days apart.
