She was known to everyone as June and was born January 11, 1934. She was born and raised in Columbus and graduated from Baker High School. She worked in manufacturing at Continental Can Co., Union Carbide and retired from Kemet Electronics.
June loved life and had a giving heart. She was always the first one there if you ever needed help. She loved to cook, read, and crochet.
