June was a very strong and determined individual who still drove a car and lived independently.  She grew up very close to her cousins in Clarksville ice skating and playing other sports.  June had a turkey named Buttercup, that she reared from a hatchling, who rode with her to and from work at the floral shop every day.  She was an avid reader and loyal Iowa Hawkeye fan.  June will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
