Eisenhower which she considered to be the highlight of her 35 year postal service career. June was a loving and devoted mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family, especially her beloved grandchildren and great grandchildren. She doted on them and spoiled them at every opportunity.
