June attended Mary C. Womack High School. In 1981, she earned an Associate’s Degree at Kilgore College. She established two thriving businesses in Longview, specializing in bridal events. She also worked as a substitute teacher for many years at schools in Marshall and Tatum Texas. Her passion was music. A gifted vocal-ist and pianist, she was the musician for several churches in the area, including New Zion Baptist in “Saw Mill Flats” and Saint John Baptist Church.
