June grew up in a carefree time and always had her heart and interest in others. She always lite up a room and made everyone smile. Her interest in the welfare of others led her to volunteering; The WWII effort, transporting military personnel to and from NYC, and for 20+ years at Helen Hayes Hospital. 

June was very involved in the Clarkstown Reformed Church of West Nyack where she served as Deacon and Elder for many years. She had a book open at all times and was a proud member of the Nyack Book club, the oldest continuing book club in America. She was always connecting with friends, resulting in the formation of her closest group of friends self-named "The Golden Girls" 

Having grown up in the shadow of WWII, she became a staunch supporter of our country and though her light has gone out, she has brightened the lives of many over the years.
