Virginia June Hamill

Virginia June Hamill Virginia June Hamill was born on March 11, 1920 in Bad Axe, Michigan on a dairy farm that her nephews still operate to this day. June met her husband, Richard, while he was testing cattle on their farm in Bad Axe. A cow kicked Richard and broke his knee and that began the relationship which resulted in 57 years of marriage. Richard preceded her in death in 1995. She was also preceded in death by her sister Betty Mayes, brother William McCrea and grandson Joseph Waldrop. June graduated from Davenport College. In the 40â€™s she worked for the President of the Senate in the State of Michigan. This created an interest in politics that lasted her entire lifetime. When Richard returned home from WWI, June worked side by side with him in the business they started, â€œHamill Homesâ€, first building picnic tables and eventually vacation and permanent homes throughout the State of Michigan. After they sold the business, and Richard passed away, June began selling AFLAC Insurance. Fulfilling a dream of her husbandâ€™s, she moved to Colorado to be closer to her sonâ€™s, Rick and Pat. She was active in the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce, as well as she had a keen interest in the Boyâ€™s and Girlâ€™s Clubs of Metro Denver. June moved back to Grand Ledge 1 Â½ years ago to spend time with her daughter, Shirley, and son-in-law, Jerry. During that time Jerry taught her the intricacies of college football. It is never too late to become a fan. June is survived by her daughter Shirley (Jerry) Waldrop, two sons, Richard E (Lynda) and Patrick H. (Kitty) Hamill, and a brother, Robert (Beverly) McCrea. Her spirit is living well within her 17 grandchildren and 26 great grandchildren. Visitation Thursday, March 13, from 6:00 â€“ 8:00 pm and Friday, March 14 from 10:00 â€“ 11:00 am.
