June Ann Miles

June Ann Miles, 66, died unexpectedly at her home in Hastings, Michigan, on December 15, 2022. Visitation will be Tuesday, December 20 at 10:00 AM at Hope United Methodist Church with funeral and luncheon to follow. Pastor Kim Metzer will officiate.

June was born on December 14, 1956, in Hastings surrounded by her parents, Forest (D) and Betty Miller (D) and siblings Wilna Bertrand, who gave June her first bath, Marilyn (Bruce) Wright, Jean Shoemaker, Vern (Kris) Miller, Arlene (D) (James) Maloney, Lyle (D) (Laura) Miller, Elaine Eckman, Richard Miller (D), Alvin Miller (D) and Loren Miller (D), Alton (Rhoda) Miller.

June married the love of her life, Terrance Miles, on February 18, 1972, in Nashville, Michigan. They started their family and settled in Hastings after spending a few years in Mississippi and Arkansas while Terry served in the Air Force. This summer, June and Terry celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and Terry's retirement and were looking forward to spending time travelling and relaxing. She is survived by Terry and sons Matthew (Brandie) Miles, Adam Miles, and daughters Sarah Micklatcher and Bethany (Eric) Santos. She leaves behind her grandchildren Cecilia, Demetrius and Charles Miles, Clara King, Paige Pierpoint and Emmett Miles, Kaleb, BreAnn and Nathaniel Micklatcher and Madelyn Santos, whom June loved very much. She also leaves behind many special nieces and nephews. She was greeted by those who went before her, including parents, siblings and grandson, Benjamin Micklatcher.

June was a fantastic seamstress and loved making personalized quilts for family, friends and each grandchild, which are treasured heirlooms. She enjoyed fashioning clothes for herself and family, often without a pattern, using her talents to provide additional income while staying home to raise her family. June loved travelling, especially going on cruises with Terry, walking the Mackinac Bridge, spending time with her sisters, and spoiling her dogs: Lucy and Tilly. She loved antiquing and adding new artistic pieces to her home. June went above and beyond to make Christmases, birthdays, Halloweens, and vacations special and unique, even with meager resources. Her witty sense of humor was one of kind and will be missed.
