Family and friends are welcome to attend. June was born on June 1, 1923, in Akron, Indiana, the daughter of Daniel and Faith Slaybaugh. On April 6, 1943, she married Ben Cook in Akron. Surviving is one son: Ramsey (Penelope) Cook of Chrisman; one daughter: Marcia Yontz of Chrisman; four grandsons: Tyler and Patrick Cook of St. Petersburg, FL; Robby Yontz of St. Louis, MO; and David (Karla) Yontz of Columbia, MO; three great-grandchildren: Isaac, Leo, and Zay Yontz of Columbia, MO; and one niece: Suellen (William) Gagnon of Silver Lake, IN. She was preceded in death by her husband and parents, and two sister: Ruth and Mary Helen. June was a graduate of Akron High School and attended Anderson College in Anderson, IN. After she and Ben married, they lived in various places before moving to Danville, IL in 1952 and to Chrisman in 1955. In 1964, she opened and operated the Villager Dress Shop. In 1989, she and Ben retired and enjoyed their home and traveling. Her greatest joy in life was her family. June was a very loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Krabel Funeral Home in Chrisman will be in charge of the arrangements. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of the donor’s choice. The family would like to thank the caregivers at Pleasant Meadow’s Senior Living for all they did for June the last three years and nine months of her life, and Lincolnland Hospice for their care since the end of April.
