June (Larsen) Brown

June was born at home in Salt Lake City, May 29, 1915 to Grace Addie Stewart and Emil Christian Larsen. They lived in Ogden where she received all her schooling. She was joined by a brother, Jack Emil in 1921, a sister, Mary Evelyn in 1926, and a brother, James Stewart in 1929.

On November 21, 1934 she married John Paul Brown in the Salt Lake Temple. That union produced a daughter, Grace Anne, a son, David Paul, and two more sons who did not survive.

A member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day- Saints, June served as a primary teacher, teacher trainer on a Primary Stake board, a teacher in the M.I.A. and on the Mutual Stake Board, a Relief Society Visiting Teacher and a ward Relief Society President. She and Paul served two stake missions. He passed away December 3, 1994 and June was preceded in death by both her parents, her brother, James Stewart Larsen, and her sister, Mary Evelyn Larsen Moore.

In 1998 June volunteered as a Stake Missionary in the Member Locator department for the Church.

Making quilts and giving them to family, friends, and the needy gave her a great pleasure as did presenting book reviews. She was a welcoming friend to people from all over the world.

Reeves (Delbert), her son, David Paul Brown (Patty), seven granddaughters: Kris Bentley (Steve), Shelly Locke (Brian), Katy Hayes, Joylynne Brown, Amy Petersen (Rob), Jennifer Simpson (Lorin), and Eden Morgan (Darby).
