After marrying Ray, June converted to the Catholic faith. For many years she was an active parishioner at Holy Spirit Catholic Church. She was a member of the Knights of Columbus Ladies' Auxiliary and the Holy Spirit Ladies Guild. June was the secretary/bookkeeper at the church office for 14 years. She faithfully attended Mass with her husband and participated in church events. In retirement, June enjoyed going to the beach with family and friends and loved watching the sun rise and set over the ocean. She loved to travel, especially her trips to Rome, Alaska, and Hawaii. Her family was her top priority, and she most enjoyed traveling to events to watch her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. In addition, she was fond of crafts and games, and was particularly competitive at Uno and Mexican dominos.
