Roe (Root), June N. age 69, passed away November 18, 2006 in Arizona. June was born in Providence, KY, the loving daughter of Cosby and Mina Dickerson (Stolarz), and she moved with her family to Chicago, IL when she was very young. She attended Thomas Elementary and Lucy Flower High School. June worked for the Chicago Lock Co. for approximately 15 years, and retired at the age of 33 to pursue her passion, which was dabbling in Real Estate. In 1979, she moved to Arizona, met and married her true companion, D Wayne Roe, who was at her side for 26 years and with her until she passed over to be with her Lord. She is preceded in death by her son, Kenneth Paul; brothers, Kenneth and Douglas. June is survived by her two girl's, Debbie Bockstedt (Chet) and Linda Bailey (Mark) both of Arizona, who will miss her very much; her sister, Mary (Jinx) Peterson; grandkids, Gino (Margo), Barry and Regina (Gary); and her great-grandchildren Abriana, Aidan, Daemien, and Makaela, all which brought joy to her life. She became proficient at the computer so she could keep in touch with all of her many nieces and nephews around the country. She loved it when she'd hear "You've got Mail". June's heart was always in Kentucky, where she loved visiting with her favorite aunts, uncles, and many cousins who loved her. She will be laid to rest in a small country cemetery in Kentucky. A Memorial Service will be scheduled for a later date. Our separation is but for a short time…then we will see one another again in the sweet by and by. Goodnight, dear one.

My beautiful grandma who I miss more than anything in this world. I remember when her and I use to dress up all of my dolls with beautiful hair styles, earings and adorable outfits. We use to play for hours on end. Then all grown up I would go to her house just to hang out with the coolest and most beautiful grandma. Daemien and Makaela (my 2 children), especially Daemien, will miss their great grandma June. Daemien was so proud to have her as his great grandma. When papa Wayne and great grandma June came to visit they never came empty handed and boy did Daemien think that was great.
You will never be forgotten. Your birthday falls the day after Daemiens and you passed away the day after Makaela's birthday.
We love you grandma and miss you.
Love, Gary, Regina, Daemien and Makaela

June was a beautiful and very classy lady. She was always so very nice to me. You could never pull the wool over her eyes. As she used to say, "don't do anything wrong because I will find out in the long run." And, she always did. I use this saying with my own daughter now and, it really is true. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family Linda. I know what your going through.
Love,
Terri

I remember June from childhood. She lived a block over from us in Chicago, on Hermitage Ave. At the time Linda was dating my brother Bob and I used to go to her house with them and drink pepsi and use her "Seal a Meal" while helping clean up after a dinner and just thought that was the coolest thing! I remember June being funny, very pretty and hip (for lack of a better word)and she was always very nice to me. Her suffering is over and she is at peace now. My thoughts and prayers are with you Linda and your family.

June was a neighbor and I first met her after her stroke, when she needed my services as a massage therapist. I worked on June for a few years and we became friends. She told me all about her "growing up" years in Chicago, her son and two daughters and of course her grandchildren. We stayed in touch through email and a few visits that my husband & I made to see she & Wayne. Althlugh I will miss June, I thank God she is now free from pain and can breathe with new lungs.
