June was a wife to Harold (Skip), mother to Sally, Susan, Kathy, grandmother to

Jean Gardner, continues to live in the same town they were born in Clarion,
Iowa.
June started her working life at the telephone company. At the beginning of WW
II, Skip was sent to Europe and she ran the photographic studio. Her next
adventure was the military as a wife and mother. As a young mother with
daughter, Sally, she crossed the Atlantic on the Queen Elizabeth to join Skip in
Europe. At the end of the war they settled in Falls Church, Virginia and had two
more girls Susan and Kathy.
June and Skip lived their lives together enjoying bridge, friends, family and
life. Upon Skip's passing, June moved to Florida. There she loved walking,
playing bridge, para-sailing (at 90) and motorcycle rides after Church.
June's final days were spent with family. Thank you Lord for her presence in
our lives.
