You will be truly missed sweet lady I always called you auntie June. There wasn't nothing you would do to help others. It's hard to believe you're gone Keith was crazy about you now y'all meet again 🙏 rest on pretty lady no more pain you can rest now❤️
June was such a funny person and a permanent fixture at Mt. Mariah, and gave her best to others in her service to the Most High. I knew I would be taken care of when I stood in line, waiting with the others. She not only served at church at home but also whenever the church fellowshipped at other churches. Somehow, she and the other ladies, always put together something for us choir members in between services while waiting to go to another service. She would always greet you with a smile, something funny to say, and a "healthy" plate. I've known June since our days as the Class of '73, our working at Muscogee County Department of Family and Children Services, and finally working in service at Mt. Mariah. I know SHE was greeted with a smile, where she has gone from labor to reward in the wonderful presence of the Most High. My heart and prayers go out for her family for the peace and comfort that only He can provide. Michele Hammond
May you rest in paradise my pretty pretty bit. Love you.
