Even though I only knew you briefly from your attendance to me and your great-nephew's wedding,I know you will be missed dearly. Meeting you was such a pleasure and Mark talked of you in a way that I feel the loss that is shared with the family. You were an incredibly warm-hearted woman.

June was a woman that I always admired. I knew her from the Baptist Home from working with her and admired her straight forward personality. You will be missed.

Although I only met Aunt June one time, at Mary and Jenny's wedding in our home, over the years I've heard stories of what an incredible woman she was. Aunt June made the most adorable crafts. In fact I was honored to receive one of them, an apron cover for my dish soap bottle. She barely knew me, but still thought of including me in her projects. Thank you Aunt June, I will treasure it forever. Ellen Eugene (Jenny's Mother)

June was my Sunday School teacher many times during the 1960's at Farmington First Baptist Church. Her kindness and gentleness has stayed with me my whole life. I am in my fifties now and will always carry a piece of June Smith in my heart.

June, It was an honer and prevelige to work for you at the Baptist Home. I will always remember kidding you about how i watered your plants, and you would give me that grin that only you could give. Today the plants look a little sad at the home, but how glorious they must look in Heaven!!! Your Friend Terry Porter

Our deepest sympathy. We knew June from 1968 to 1980 as we went to church with her. I cherish our years knowing her and the church.

I love you June and I will forever treasure all the memories I have of working for and with you at The Baptist Home. All those beautiful tomatoes you planted and all your beautiful plants. I know you're having a glorious time in heaven with all the beauty that is there. All the lives you've touched with your caring heart under that direct gruff personality. I'll miss you but I'll see you in heaven.
