She was born October 16, 1934, in Hillside, Derry Twp., PA, a daughter of the late John E. and Mary Olive (Short) Sloan. June was a homemaker. She loved reading mystery books, coloring, and putting puzzles together. She never missed watching the news to keep up to date with current events. She enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the wildlife and growing flowers or having flowers to take care of. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by three brothers Charles L., Francis A. and Harry E. Sloan; and two sisters Mary R. and Ida A. Sloan. June is survived by numerous nieces, nephews and friends. She was ever so thankful for all the love and care from Audrey, Gale, Wanda, Madison, and Marleigh. She would have been lost without them.
