I met June many years ago when she volunteered at my office for the State of MD. We bonded immediately over our love for our dogs. She and Tom became great friends to me and my late husband and I have many happy memories of our times together. She was the most generous and giving person I’ve ever known and was always thinking of others especially children all over the world by her many years of participation in Operation Christmas Child, She will truly be missed by all who loved her.

Tom and family of June,
June will always be remembered as a super caring person who for many years expressed her care of those of us working where she volunteered. June shared celebrations of all the holidays throughout the years treating us in simple but meaningful actions and special ways. June mastered wonderful actionable ways of sharing her love and heart with others. June’s focus and heart was always on what she could do to show her love of others near and far with all the presents she gave to children throughout the world. Let these and many other good memories of June play over and over in your heart during this time.
