Dorothy “June” LaBoon, 85, of Howardwick passed away on Monday, November 16, 2020, in Amarillo.
Cremation and arrangements are under the direction of Robertson Funeral Directors of Clarendon.
June was born on June 19, 1935, to Fred and Ada Clark Wortham in Whitesboro, Texas. After graduating high school, June spent her career as a secretary for various companies. June lived in Claude prior to moving to Howardwick approximately 13 years ago.
June loved to crochet, making many beautiful creations in her lifetime, most recently kitchen towels with toppers and matching scrubbers. She also loved gardening, canning and craft projects. She loved to take care of the birds and deer, evidenced by the multiple feeders and deer that could be seen around her house every day at dusk. She watched each year for the new fawns and gave them all names. When health allowed, on a pretty day, June could be found outside taking care of her garden and flower beds.
She is preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Fred Wortham, Jr.; two sisters, Ann Gilbert in Ruston, Louisiana, and Ada Vieno, resting in Albuquerque, New Mexico and two grandchildren, Jason Ponder and Jaimee Ponder.
She is survived by her son, Arthur LaBoon, Jr. of Sterling, Virginia; daughter, Judy Ponder of Beaufort, South Carolina; three grandchildren, Morgan Booth, David Greene, and Ryan Greene; five great-grandchildren, Addison Mater, Shaelyn Mater, Brittan Harrison, Christopher Gorley, and Zachary Booth.
