June is also survived by seven great-grandchildren: Anderson, Everett, and Adaline Johnson; Emery and Gibson Palmer; and Jonas and Owen Glidden. She is also survived by two sisters, Audrey Wheeler of Shoreview, MN and Beatrice Swedien, of Ocala, FL. June was born in Alexandria, MN on June 30, 1926, the eldest child of Bengt and Edna Anderson. Two months after her birth, the family moved to Assam, India, where her parents served as Baptist missionaries to the Naga Tribes (Nagaland) in the mountains of NE India from 1926 through 1955. She was homeschooled by her mother until she attended Mt. Herman School in Darjeeling for her high school years. June attended her senior year at Alexandria High School in Alexandria, MN. Upon graduation, June attended Bethel College in St. Paul, MN for one year, then transferred to Mounds-Midway Hospital School of Nursing for three years, training as a US nurse cadet. She worked as a labor and delivery nurse at Booth Memorial Hospital and Midway Hospital, both in St. Paul, MN. June and Howard were married on December 27, 1947 at Central Baptist Church in St. Paul, MN, where they initially met and were both lifelong members. June treasured her family dearly and is remembered for her love of family, especially for making every celebration special. She took a keen interest in every family member, including her many nieces and nephews, along with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She is remembered by her sisters as a marvelous sibling who lavished love and care on them. June was an accomplished violinist in high school, college, and beyond, performing with the Bethel College Orchestra and for many church functions. June was very active at Central Baptist Church, serving in various women's groups. She loved to travel and was able to return twice to her beloved India, in addition to visiting Sweden, England, Germany, and many places across the United States. June spent her final years at Presbyterian Homes in Arden Hills, MN, where she lived in a vibrant community and was wonderfully cared for by all the staff, who loved hearing her stories of growing up in India. She received wonderful hospice care through Optage home and community services. A Memorial Service is planned for 11 am on December 31, 2021 at Holcomb-Henry-Boom-Purcell Funeral Home, 515 Hwy 96 W, Shoreview, MN with visitation beginning at 10 am. A private burial will be held at Roselawn Cemetery. Donations in June's memory are welcomed at Central Baptist Missions, the Salvation Army (St. Paul), or the Presbyterian Homes Foundation Employee Hardship Fund.
