She lived most of her life in the Atmore area. She was a Christian and attended Robinsonville Baptist Church. Her passion in life was to help those in need.

During their 32 years of marriage, they lived in Pensacola, Fla., Bay Minette, Moffat Co. and in Atmore.

She loved attending church and shared many memories of her times as a girl attending Sunday School. June was extremely proud of how hard her mother worked as a single mom to care for her. Her family and friends who knew her best will miss her tomato gravy, her always being available to care for others in their times of need. Even taking you into her home if you needed a place to stay.

Her request was for her body to be donated to the University of South Alabama for further study. It is the family’s hope through her generous donation that more can learned about the different types of strokes and their causes.
