In the early 1960’s they moved to Devils Lake where June’s first priority was always her family. She worked for many years at Lake Region Clinic and the Artclare Motel. Most recently, June worked at Kmart until she retired in 2005. June was a devout member of St. Joseph Catholic Church and and Altar Society and had a deep devotion to St. Jude throughout her life.
