Chaplain John Kenny of the Arlington National Cemetery said he wanted to give a bio of June Louise Temple at her internment on 19 August 2019 at 9:00 a.m. Pallbearers were members of the United States Navy. “June met James S. Temple at a hospital and they were married and June’s life as a Navy wife began. Then, she became a mother. She was proud of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and led a religious life they would model after. She faced many obstacles in her life but it did stop her. She led a positive life saying tomorrow will be better. She believed if you told the truth you are right with God. She was a stonrg woman and ran a weekly newspaper and wrote a column and each column with “Take Care, I care”. She saw many changes in the world during her lifetime and June touched the lives of so many in a special way. She was gracious, giving and welcoming to all. Deeply loved she will be forever missed. She is with God now and joins her husband and we bless her today. May she rest in peace.”

Commander James S. Temple was interned in 1996 with full military honor.
