June Elaine Miller was born on June 6, 1930, to Floyd and Fannie (Arnold) Miller in Milnor, ND.  She grew up on a farm near Milnor and attended school at SYDNA Consolidated School for seven years, and then graduated from Milnor High School as valedictorian.  After high school, she studied nursing at St. Francis School of Nursing in Moorhead, MN.

On January 9, 1951, June was married to Walter Hulne at St. Arnold’s Catholic Church in Milnor.  They lived and farmed near Colfax, ND, from 1951 to 2003 where they raised their three children and she stayed active as a 4-H leader.  In 2003, June and Walter moved into Breckenridge, MN, and Walter passed away on November 4, 2015.

June was a member of St. Thomas Catholic Church and the Christian Mother’s.  She enjoyed spending her winters in McAllen, TX, and her summers on Deer Lake near Underwood, MN.  She also enjoyed reading, playing cards, especially Whist and Pinochle, and enjoying the company of her cats.  She loved to travel and was able to make it to 48 out of the 50 states, only missing out on trips to Delaware and Hawaii. June was loved by everyone and cherished her time spent with family and friends, but she especially loved her time spent with her grandchildren.
