June was a caregiver throughout her lifetime. She lovingly cared for her daughter, Margaret, and later for her mother, Maggie. There was always an abundance of love and food in June’s home. Family and friends would often gather at her house. Many quilting bees were held there as well. June helped on her parent’s farm, worked in her garden, and sewed clothes for her family, along with other household chores. June was a hard worker, and although she never worked outside her home, she was always willing to help her church, her community, and volunteer at Bloomfield Good Samaritan Society. She gave her heart and love to many people.
