Melanie was born in Idaho where they worked in the family grocery store and after Joel joined the Air Force, Joelene was born in Oklahoma.        June loved to cook, sew, paint and many times won Yard of the Month. Her big sunny kitchen window is filled with colored glass and beautiful blooming orchids. She was active in politics, Red Hats, and loved her church, St. Michael Anglican. She never turned down a request to help.        Another of her passions were dogs and she was seldom without at least one. She was a member of many animal organizations, domestic and wild.        On her eightieth birthday, she invited friends, hired a disc jockey, and danced the afternoon away. She had a wonderful party. She was an example of all that is good and was loved and respected by all who knew her. She will be missed forever.        Survivors: husband of 67 years, Joel; daughters, Melanie Swacker, Joelene Moore and husband, Alan Peel; grandson, Keith Swacker; sisters, Pam Dyer, Cynthia Hensley and husband, Orval; many loved nieces, nephews and in-laws.
