At the time of her death, she was also survived by her son Roger K. Wilcox, who is now recently deceased. June was a graduate of Cabell County schools, graduating from Huntington East High School in 1946. Blessed with both energy and talent for organization, she worked as a telephone operator, a homemaker, a retail saleswoman, and a caregiver for both her mother and her mother-in-law. June always said she was proudest of her job as a homemaker and mother, creating beautiful homes in which to raise her children.

Her family would like to thank her friends and neighbors who were so kind and helpful to her during her final years in Huntington.
