She moved to Scottsbluff and Mitchell, Nebraska area, graduating from the Mitchell High School in 1931, and Phillips University Nursing School in Enid, Oklahoma, in 1938. From the premie station at Cook County Hospital in Chicago to the U.S. Army was quite a change for this Nebraska farm girl. She served her country in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps, as a Captain, from Nov. 3, 1942 to April 20, 1946, in the 31st General Hospital as a surgical nurse and taught surgical technique to corpsman, during World War II in the Pacific Theatre in the Philippines.

They moved to Lincoln, Nebraska where June worked at Bryan Hospital as obstetric supervisor.

They lived there for eight years before moving back to Colorado, where they lived until Bud's death in 1985. They had the opportunity to travel to many places in the United States and around the world. After Bud's death, she moved to Lincoln for seven years and then to McCook in 1997.
