June grew up in Rowan County and graduated from Cleveland High School. She later attended Catawba College. After her marriage to Harrell Powell Jr., she moved to Winston-Salem, and later to Clemmons, where she raised her four children and spent most of her life. She was a wonderful, loving mother, and her children were her life. She spent many years on the sidelines watching and cheering all four of her children at their many sporting events and activities. She was a Scout Den Mother, school room mother, field trip chaperone, sports booster, etc. Always there to lend a helping hand. When her children were young, June worked as a Teacher’s Aide for the WSFCSS so she could enjoy the summers off with her children. Many of those summers were spent traveling in the old wood-paneled station wagon with camping trips to the mountains and the beach. Later, June received her CNA certificate and worked in home health, providing lots of love and care to elderly patients in their home. She was a previous member of Clemmons Moravian Church and enjoyed many outings with the Young at Heart fellowship group. June loved to sing and enjoyed watching old movies. She also had a great love of animals and took in many rescues over the years. June will be dearly missed by her family and all who knew her. A Graveside Service will be held 2:00 p.m. Saturday, January 23, 2021 at Cleveland United Methodist Cemetery with Rev. John Rights officiating.
