June was born on New Year’s Eve 1930 in East Enterprise, Indiana. She lived a full life in many corners of the world, and would spend the last 52 in Bartlett, accompanied by cherished family and friends.

Her favorite hobbies included gardening and baking, as well as countless hours volunteering for LifeBlood, now known as Vitalant.
She is survived by three generations of her kin, and many friends whom she loved as dearly as her family. June was blessed with two daughters, LaVonne Heckart (Tom), and Teresa Fears, three grandchildren, Lynn Payant (John), Chris Throckmorton (Allison), and Rick Fears (Heather), as well as seven great-grandchildren Bayley, Mikayla, Robert, Natalie, Brad, Bailey, and Luca.
