She loved to watch her mother sew and over the years learned to make her family’s clothes and sew for others. Many of her daughters and granddaughters wore her work at their proms and weddings. June liked knitting and embroidering, but especially designing and making quilts, completing well in excess of 1000 of them, the last one just 3 months ago. June was an amazing cook, and her baking was in high demand at markets for many years. She loved sports, especially basketball, liked to dance and sing. She loved having children around, babysat for others and thoroughly enjoyed the many hours she devoted to supporting her children and grandchildren's activities. June took positions of leadership in many church and community groups.
