June Adams Johnson
PENSACOLA, Fla. -- A true southern lady left us on Thursday morning, Oct. 9, 2003. Those of us fortunate enough to know and love her will miss her feisty and fabulous ways. Our "Junie Moon" was one of a kind; she will not be forgotten.
June Adams Johnson was the daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs. Charles Adams of Cordele. She was educated in the Crisp County School System and then attended and graduated from Auburn University where she was a member of Chi Omega Sorority and was a homecoming queen. She was a fierce "War Eagle."
June was a wonderful wife to Huntley Johnson. She was a devoted and loving mother to Huntley Johnson Jr. and Voe Johnson Montgomery.
She leaves behind her children and their spouses, daughter-in-law, Melissa Miller, and son-in-law, Bobby Montgomery.
June will forever be cherished by her four adoring grandchildren, Huntley Johnson Montgomery and Kyle Creswell Montgomery of Charlottesville, Va., and Huntley Johnson II and Cameron June Johnson of Gainesville, Fla. They knew their "Duchess" to be one in a million and she was.
June is survived by her beloved brother and sister-in-law, Charles and Joyce Adams of Cartersville. She is also survived by Charles and Darri Adams of Atlanta, and Georgia, Tom and Eydie of Cartersville.
June will be laid to rest with her mother and father in the family plot in Cordele.
