To Lena, Pat, Dennis and Mary, knowing your sister, and aunt, was a great joy for me. I also enjoyed seeing her smiling face and visiting with her at the Reese Picnics, and Pat you kept me informed regarding her alot.
I am so sorry for her sudden illness and passing. A beautiful, warm, caring Angel is now with her Lord in heaven.
My prayers and love are with you all at this difficult time.

Aunt June will live in our memories until we meet again. God blessed us …with her.
To the family of Miss June: My deepest sympathy to you. She was a gracious lady and will be muchly missed. May God comfort you.
George and I were third cousins. I remember driving by June’s home for many years on my way to and from work at American Enka Company. I last saw her July 20, 2009, when I visited to deliver some family pictures from my mother’s photo albums. My mother was Christine Warren Israel. As mentioned in other tributes, June was always a warm and lovely lady.
George Gilbert was my older half-brother.Our father was E.Foy Crook. I remember when George was dating June and introduced her to our Uncle Gilbert.He told George he better marry her that she was a jewel.How right he was.June was one of the sweetest,kindest people I have ever known..She did so much for our family, Aunt Bonnie and especially Uncle Gilbert.She was always so kind and loving to me. Our loss is Heavens gain. She and George are finally together again as they sit at the feet of our Savior. We will surely miss her untill we see her again.

June took us under her wing following the blizzard in 1993. She became known affectionately as ‘Aunt June’ to our family and shared our love for our dog ‘Peabody.’ We made many great memories over the years. June will be remembered as a great lover of animals and a great friend to our family.
June was a very kind, loving, and caring person. She will truly be missed, but knowing June, she is in Heaven now with our Creator. We were neighbors for twenty years and my children grew up loving her as we all did. She will always be remembered.
Aunt June will be so very sorely missed. The laughs, guidence, shared memories of good times and bad … guidence given in love and knowledge. We will miss you so very badly! But, God willing, we will re-unite with you, Mom, Dad and all who met you when you passed over.
Love forever!
