June was reared and attended school in the Charity, Missouri area. She was united in marriage to Billie Joe Turner in February of 1946, and to this union four children were born, all of whom survive her.

They moved back to Buffalo, and then Springfield, MO for two years before settling at their home near Buffalo, MO. June worked for Key Industries and drove a School Bus for over 30 years. She decided it was time to retire when she started driving the grandchildren of the first kids she had on her bus. She loved sewing, gardening, and growing flowers. She was a member of the North Mt.
