June retired from IBM and then from Giant Food Stores on the Carlisle Pike, both in Mechanicsburg.  She was a member of various of bowling leagues, including ABC West Lanes.  June enjoyed sewing, reading, and cooking; she always made enough food that there were leftovers.  She traveled throughout the world to places like Germany, Ireland, Spain, and other parts of Europe with her twin sisters.  June loved ladybugs, earning her the nickname, “June Bug”.  She truly was everybody’s June Bug because she had quite the personality and always had a smile to share with others.

June’s family will be remembering her life privately.  Entombment in Rolling Green Cemetery in Camp Hill will be at the family’s convenience.
