June Brotherton Morgan

A 1961 graduate of Memphis Technical High School, June distinguished herself as Editor-in-Chief of The Review, her senior yearbook. Her vibrant personality and grace earned her recognition as a Senior Beauty and the honor of being voted Best Dressed by her classmates.

While these accomplishments reflected her talents, June's greatest joy and proudest achievement was her family. She dedicated herself wholeheartedly to raising her children, creating a home filled with love, laughter, comfort, and unwavering support. She was the kind of mother and grandmother who never hesitated to put the needs of others before her own, making countless sacrifices to ensure her family was taken care of.

June had a passion for cooking and baking, and her kitchen was the heart of her home. Whether preparing a family meal, baking a favorite dessert, or gathering loved ones around her table, she expressed her love through food and hospitality. The memories made in her kitchen will be treasured for generations.

After many years as a homemaker, June worked as a bookkeeper for several businesses. In retirement, she combined her creativity, talents, and entrepreneurial spirit by operating her own interior decorating business, specializing in custom window treatments.

Those who knew June will remember her for her kindness and remarkable ability to make everyone feel welcome. She had a rare gift for making people feel seen, heard, and cared for. Whether meeting someone for the first time or reconnecting with an old friend, June had a way of turning strangers into friends and making everyone feel like family.

June was preceded in death by her parents, Billie and Wardie Brotherton; her brother, Bill Brotherton; her beloved husband of 60 years, Kermit Morgan; and her granddaughter, Mallory Morgan.

She is survived by her children, Alisa Morgan Rhodes (Gary), Melanie Morgan, Stephanie Morgan Rossi (Mike), and Lyle Morgan (Stephanie). She also leaves behind her cherished grandchildren, Morgan and Carson Rhodes, Michael Rossi, Cole Morgan (Allegra), and Grace Morgan; along with her sister-in-law, Michelle Morgan.

June's legacy of selflessness, kindness, and devotion to family will live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.

The family will receive friends Monday July 20, 2026 from 5:00-8:00pm at Memphis Funeral Home, 3700 Germantown Parkway Bartlett TN 38133. A private graveside service will be held on Tuesday.
