June Carolyn Hunter

The moment has come when the Horton Family must pause and inform all that Ms. June Carolyn Hunter no longer resides on this side of the Jordan river. Early Tuesday morning , that Glorious ship of Zion left the dock at The Hunter residence with Ms. June Hunter on board bound for Paradise.

June Carolyn Hunter was born on March 19, 1955 in Perquimans County North Carolina to the late James Clinton Hunter and Carlene Burke Hunter.

June attended Perquimans County Public Schools, where she graduated in 1975 and later attended school to receive her Certified Nursing Assistant licenses. December 1, 1986 June took a job in the Perquimans County School System where she worked in the High School cafeteria. September 1, 1987 June began her journey at the Perquimans County Middle School where she fell in love with her job and every child that passed through her lunch line and school hallways. In 2016 June transferred to Perquimans County Central School where she worked up until she fell ill. Anyone that knew Ms. June fell in love with her bright smile, and the way she cared for anyone. June had a heart of a gold and mouth that would set you straight if you were wrong. Who didn’t love Ms. June? She would feed and provide anyone with anything that they needed if she had it. Everywhere she went someone knew her or had a good old story to tell about her. June later retired from the school system on July 7, 2017. Thirty-one years of doing something she loved, making others happy.
