June married Paul Edwards Rehm on June 1, 1945 in Albuquerque, NM. Shortly thereafter, she and her husband arrived in Abilene, TX, where she worked as a certified dental assistant for three years. June was a talented artist, specializing in painting china, pastels and portraits. She was also an accomplished seamstress who sewed most of her own clothes and some of Paul’s.
