June graduated from St. Agnes Academy in Indianapolis in 1937. She married Harry in 1938 and they spent their lives in several locations including Indianapolis, Kentucky, New York, Colorado, Alaska and Florida. Throughout her life, June volunteered her time and talents to many organizations, including her church, her daughters’ schools, hospital guilds, and finally as a resident council member at the Arvada Meridian where she last resided. After Harry passed away at LifePath Hospice in Sun City Center, Florida, she devoted much of her time volunteering there. During her career, she was an executive secretary. Considering her organizational skills, she was no doubt an excellent one! June loved sewing, baking, fishing, golf, reading, traveling, and people. She especially loved a good card game. The bridge players at the Meridian will miss her keen wit and prowess at the card table. We will all miss her grace, her humor, and her positive and loving nature. A memorial service will be held at the Arvada Meridian, 9555 W. 59 th Ave. at 1:00 on June 11, 2016. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to Collier Hospice Center 8300 W. 38th St. Wheat Ridge, CO 80033
