June was a woman of faith and the heart of the McMurrey family. She lived by the words of one of her favorite Bible verses:

Matthew 22: 37-39.

“Jesus said unto him, ‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with

all thy heart, and with all they soul, and with all thy mind’. This

is the first and great commandment.

And the second is like unto it, ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbor

as thy self’.”
