She graduated from Portales High School and married her high school sweetheart, Roland Hampton, on February 6, 1954. Their marriage lasted 69 years and blessed them with two children. June loved the Lord, her family and many friends. She was an active member of the Early Methodist Church where she served on various committees. June could be found in the kitchen preparing meals and even making wedding and birthday cakes for family members and friends. She also enjoyed crafting, sewing clothes for family, and volunteering at Good Samaritan Ministries. June’s grandsons were her pride and joy. She and Roland attended every event and activity they possibly could. June looked forward to her weekly card games with friends. This group Roland nicknamed “The Fat Ladies Club.” June was always willing to help anyone.
