On September 12, 2006, June Scott was suddenly called home into the loving arms of Jesus. June was loved dearly by her husband, family and friends. She was an amazing woman who lived out her faith through kindness, generosity, encouragement and servanthood. Her life was defined by love. She was a great storyteller who kept family history alive by her descriptive words and phrases. She readily would give chuckles and smiles to each conversation. She rarely complained and did not want to be a bother to anyone. Her familiar words were "Oh. I’m just fine!" She was a role model to all who knew her; full of life, strong in character, fun loving, gentle and genuine. We are all heart-broken about her passing and each look forward to the day we’ll be reunited with her in Heaven.

Gloria June Owens was born November 19, 1928 to Bode and Edith Owens in San Angelo, TX. She grew up on the Barnhart family ranch with her two younger brothers, Buck and Tom Owens. On August 3, 1947, she married the love of her life, John R. Scott, Jr. of Mertzon, TX. About a year after their marriage, they moved to Montana to "pioneer the last frontier". June had many stories to tell about her ranching days, and many times others would say," You should write a book." After living 40 years in Montana, June and John moved back to Miles, TX, to help care for their aging parents. The next 10 years, June dedicated her time, energy and love to her husband and three ailing parents. From that time on, her home became "the place to visit". Our family has so many precious memories of visiting Texas and taking trips with"Grandma".

June leaves behind: her husband of 59 years, John Robert, 4 children, ten grandchildren, and two "great-grandbabies". They are John R. Scott III, (Cindy), the father of Becky, (Tim) Juan and James, Maggie Scott Brown, the mother of Amanda Brown, Sissy Croft (Charlie), the mother of Katie, Clay (Rachelle) and Clint, and Jim Bode Scott (Marcie), the father of Sarah, Hannah and Caleb. The great-grandbabies are Cyrus Scott Croft and Scott Owens Peltzer.

A memorial service was be held at the Johnson’s Funeral Home Chapel on Saturday, September 16, at 1:00 PM. June requested to be buried in Billings, MT. Funeral services will be 10am Wednesday at Faith Chapel, 517 Shiloh Road, Billings. Interment will be at Yellowstone Valley Memorial Park 3605 Grand Ave.

"We Love you, Mom; You were the sunshine of our family."
