June was born July 23, 1922, at the family home northeast of Enid, Okla., the youngest of seven children of Arthur and Hazel Wagner Kunkel. She peacefully passed away May 8, 2015, at her residence.
June graduated from Enid High School in 1939 and attended Enid Business College. During World War II, she worked at George E. Failing Co. and was a volunteer nurse at St. Mary’s Hospital.
After the war, she moved to Los Angeles and then to Kansas City, where she became a stewardess. She gave that up when she married Edward Mather at Community Christian Church in Kansas City in 1950. He died in 1978.
June worked for ONG in Enid for 31 years before retiring in 1986. She also worked for several years as a real estate agent with her good friend Mae Belle Jack. During retirement, she loved planning and going on bus trips with the ONGers retirees’ group. She was a longtime member and deaconess of University Place Christian Church and for the last several years attended Central Christian Church.
June is survived by her daughter, Stephanie Mather of Agra, Okla.; grandson, Maj. Matthew (Cari) Zimmerman of South Grafton, Mass.; granddaughter Keri (Aaron) Standlee of Meeker, Okla.; great-grandchildren, Alexis, Conlin and Gavin Zimmerman; many nieces and nephews; and many friends.
She was pre-deceased by her brothers, Roger, Frank, Dan, Harry and Bob Kunkel; her sister, Nancy Stetnish; and her son-in-law, Miles Zimmerman.
The family would like to thank the fantastic people at Meals on Wheels and at Central Christian Church, all of June’s wonderful neighbors, and especially her loving caregiver, Diana Smith Pardon.
