Shirlee “June” Aaron was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. June went to be with the Lord on Sunday, June 25, 2023.
She was born on February 14, 1936 in rural Maries County, Missouri. When she graduated from high school, she moved to St. Louis, Missouri. While visiting the Highlands Amusement Park, she met Alex “Glenn” Aaron. They were married on July 1, 1955 and enjoyed 53 years of married life until Glenn’s passing on November 21, 2008. Their love was a beautiful example for many, and she still grieved him daily.
June was described by many as loving, kind, generous and spunky. She loved the Lord and attended church most of her life. She was also known for both her patriotism and her love for dogs. As a passionate dog lover, June considered her Bichon, Barkley, to be a member of her family.
June was also preceded in death by her parents, Luther and Lucy Walls as well as four of her siblings: L.T. (Ida) Walls, Jr., Jim Walls, Maisie (Don) Skeeters and Jackie Walls.
June is survived by her two children, Patti Thompson and Penni (Jonathan) Nuttall; six grandchildren, Kimberly Cooper, Katie Thompson, Meghan Martin, Mallory Martin, Seth Martin and Sophia Martin; one great-grandson, Nolan Cooper; her brother Sid (Betty) Walls; and many nieces and nephews.

I love June so much. She was the best mother-in-law a guy could ask for, it was truly an honor to have that relationship. I cherish all of our visits, and I wish there were many more “oh, and another thing…” things I could do for her. I think she just made up things for me to do sometimes just to make me feel good! She is missed greatly. My condolences to the rest of the family, some whom I haven’t met yet…I know she had left a huge hole in everyone’s hearts.
Prayers for her family.
I’m so sorry to learn of Aunt June’s passing just today. Hugs to all.
