She loved to travel and visited as many German castles as she could, as well as Berlin (east and west), the Black Forest, Paris FR, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. She loved her school children and retired after 41 years of service. June’s husband retired after 22 years of military service and they spent many winters in FL, on Madeira Beach where their daughter resided. When not in FL or Portsmouth, they loved to spend time at their summer camp on Lake Winona, swimming, fishing, and enjoying friends and family. June delighted in all of nature, plants, flowers, and any creature that flew, walked, burrowed or swam. She would profess that “God has a great sense of humor,” when she watched NOVA and Blue Planet.
June was a member of the Church at Spruce Creek and spent many years as the Church Historian and an integral member of the Prayer Chain, “Prayer moves mountains, “she would firmly state. She had an immoveable faith and the grace of a thousand Angels. She was a 5’2” black haired, brown eyed prayer warrior; beautiful on the inside and outside with a heart of pure gold.
