June R. Perkins

On June 24, 1945, she married the love of her life, Jack Perkins. They shared 44 beautiful years together until his passing in 1989. June was a beloved homemaker who took care of her family. She enjoyed sewing, crocheting and cooking. She sewed children’s books for many members of her family and her famous pineapple upside down cake will always be a family favorite.

June spent a lot of time in prayer. She made sure her family always knew they were in her prayers; she even had notebooks full of names that she prayed for specifically. She also enjoyed walking in the mall, and of course stopping at Dillard’s to check out the clearance rack. June was a proud member of Angelo Bible Church and also volunteered with hospice. She was a woman with a precious soul who will be deeply missed by all that knew her.

June is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Jack Perkins; her son, Jack William Perkins Jr., and her grandson, Ariel Rees.

Those left to cherish her memory are her daughter, Elaine Rees and husband Alan; her son, Lee Perkins and wife Margaret; her grandchildren, Lauren Munoz and husband Robert, Carrie Erwin and husband John, Rebekah Rees, David Rees and wife Sharon, Sarah Rees, John Rees, Ben Rees, and Rachelle Perkins; her granddaughter in law, Sloan Rees, and her sweet friend, Leslie Perkins Geiger. She is also survived by many great grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends.

The family would like to send a special “Thank You” to the staff at St. Gabriel’s Hospice as well as the staff at San Angelo Nursing and Rehab for their loving care of June.
