She was the daughter of the late Maynard Russell Neswold and the late Olga Neswold (nee Stoeffhaas), wife of the late Professor Emmett Leith of the University of Michigan, dear mother of 2; dear sister of the late Russell Neswold, Nancy Wojcik, and Gerald Neswold; grandmother of 3.

June grew up in Chicago where she attended Funston Elementary School and enjoyed visits with her aunts, whom she missed when her family moved to the Detroit area. She graduated from Northwestern High School in 1946, and later worked for the Jordan Printing Company. She met Emmett Leith in an Arthur Murray dance class; they married Feb. 17, 1956 and lived in Plymouth and Canton with their two daughters, orange tree, turtles, dogs, and holograms. June was very dedicated to raising her daughters and tirelessly transported them to piano and ballet lessons. In her spare time, June enjoyed bowling, quilting, baking, walking with neighbors, playing old time music on her player piano, reading about Norwegian pioneers, and researching the family history. She loved dogs and small children. She worked at Country Corners Nursery School for twenty-two years, and loved to hear from her former students.
