June (Sharp) Miller, 88, of Great Falls, died of natural causes Sunday, Oct. 23, at a local hospital.
June Sharp was born May 26, 1923, to John and Anna (Hefferle) Sharp in Lewistown, where she was raised and educated, graduating from Fergus County High School.
Right out of high school she began working for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and continued to work there, in various positions, for the next 54 years. In her position as a loan officer, she helped finance numerous facilities, including water systems, senior centers and housing in communities throughout central Montana. She enjoyed working to help small Montana communities and, as a result of her dedication, received many commendations during her career.
June was active in her community and church, serving as a union labor representative and on various boards. She believed in her civic duties and never missed an election. She was very involved as a member of Holy Spirit Catholic Church and was in Catholic Daughters, where she was generous in lending her many talents to worthy causes and was always willing to help.
June met Peter M. Miller in 1948, while they were both federal employees working at the Great Falls Post Office/Federal Building. They were married on May 20, 1950. Together they worked and lived in Great Falls, raising their two daughters. June had many friends who will miss her dearly. She is the last of the great generation who did so much for so many.
Survivors include her two daughters and three grandchildren.
June was preceded in death by her parents; her husband of 59 years, Peter Miller; her five brothers, John, Joseph, Alexander, Daniel and William; and one sister, Maryann.
