#3 Carolyn Powell Pugh 2010-08-27 01:43 Please tell the family that I was sorry to read about her passing. June always said she was my mother's other daughter. My mother, Ruth Powell, liked that. She was very fond of June. I only knew her slightly, but found her to be very warm and friendly. She will be missed. Quote

#7 Jim Foutz 2010-08-31 11:39 I had the great privilege & honor to first meet June & Roscoe back in the mid 70's while working my first job in high school at Troutwine's Super Valu. June & Roscoe were so positive, happy & cheerful around me & always made me laugh & feel so good & comfortable around them & I shall cherish those memories forever. June & Roscoe were beautiful loving people & a treasure to know. June & I later reconnected after she remarried when I left Columbus while working for the state of Ohio & when I returned home to Greenville to assist my mother with the care of my father. June was ALWAYS very polite & respectful to me through the many years we knew one another & always took the time to share a story & laugh with me whenever we'd meet.She was indeed a very special lady & so deeply loved ALL her family more than life itself. My deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Bowman & Sodder families.

Respectfully & with my sincere condolances, Jim Foutz Quote
