As an active member of the Mansfield Congregational church June enjoyed teaching bible class and attending various church activities, especially visiting with Pastor Ted.
June loved books and before retirement eventually owned Book Ends in downtown Mansfield. There wasn’t a room in her house without a pile of books on the table.

She especially loved to work on these puzzles with her grandchildren when they came to visit.
