June and her siblings grew up testifying and singing on a daily radio broadcast with her well- respected father, Reverend J. C. Hibbard. June had a successful career in nursing for many years and also started and ran two successful restaurants in NE Texas and Dallas. June brought a spirit of excellence to anything she did and her management skills created a demand for her services long after she was of retirement age. June was loved and trusted by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Although June found success in many careers, her greatest joy came from being with family. She was known as “sweetheart” to her husband, mom to her kids, and Meemaw to all her grandkids, but all agree she was the best! June Marie had a passion for cooking and everyone who entered her home enjoyed her delicious meals. If you happen to come over on a Sunday, you would feast on her family favorite: roast, mashed potatoes, green beans and her special” Hibbard tea”. Many called her grandma dynamite because of the endless energy she had entertaining her grandkids. She made many trips to Six Flags, the zoo, the water parks,and even jumped in a ball pit or two (and couldn’t get back out!) June Marie Underwood has left a legacy of unwavering faith in the Lord evidenced by her love for scripture, her personal prayer life, and her love and dedication to her family and friends. She is truly a Proverbs 31 woman. June’s nephew, Reverend Rex Walker will officiate services with the Eulogy being done by June’s sister, Mrs. Darlene Walker and brother, Reverend J. C. (Sonny) Hibbard.
