June grew up in Petersburg, New York, one of two children, and was a graduate of Berlin High School, Class of 1952. She went on to attend Plattsburgh State College, graduating with the Class of 1956. A lifelong educator, June dedicated many years to teaching at Wallingford Elementary School in Wallingford, Vermont, where she made a lasting impact on countless students through her kindness, patience, and love of learning.
Music and faith were central to June's life. She was a gifted organist and faithfully served the South Wallingford Congregational Church for many years. After playing there she would then head over to the Wallingford Congregational Church with her husband and family to attend services. She was also an active member of the Order of the Eastern Star, cherishing the friendships and sense of service it provided. June loved to travel and embraced new adventures and experiences.
At a wedding of mutual friends, June met the love of her life, Clovis (Jasper) Edward Leach. They were married on July 12, 1959, and shared 66 devoted years together, raising four children and building a life rooted in family, faith, and community. In 2006, June and Clovis moved to Kingston, New Hampshire, to be closer to their children and grandchildren.
Above all else, June was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her gentle spirit, warm smile, and steady presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
