June E. Carter

June Elizabeth Carter passed away on March 20, 2002, at her home in Sandy Hook.

A loving wife, daughter, “gramma,” and friend to all who knew her and will always love her, June will be deeply missed by her loving husband, Albert, daughter Michele, and three grandchildren, Kelly, Stacey and Katie.

While she is in a much better place, June left an indelible mark on the souls of all that had the pleasure of meeting and knowing her.

She was a Certified Public Accountant, loved Al, and lived for her family, of whom she was very proud. While the tides come and go each day, her love for all those she touched will be felt and remembered. We will never forget and always love you, June.
