Clara June McLain Rolen, age 81, took the trip of a lifetime Saturday morning, February 13, her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, took her home to heaven. June was born on June 20, 1928, to George W. and Winnie McLain, in Featherston, Oklahoma. God's providence in her life was evident from the beginning as June, along with her school teacher mother and evangelist father, moved often planting churches throughout Oklahoma. Her love for Christ, as well as her pride in her Choctaw Indian heritage came from her father. June invited Christ in her life at age 9 in Oklahoma City. By age 12, June was playing piano at church meetings and revivals. And at sweet sixteen, in 1945, she graduated from Shawnee High School in Oklahoma.
June married her husband of 63 years, Lonnie Rolen, on September 29, 1946 at the Kerman Free Will Baptist Church. Their vows took place between Sunday school and church service, along with two other couples, as time was precious during the harvesting/ginning season in the area. God blessed them with a daughter and a son.
Her career as a full charge bookkeeper began for a florist in Oklahoma. Once in California, the Kerman Bank of America was blessed by her aptitude with numbers. It was 12 years of experience under Dan Hiebert at the Kerman Co-op Gin that provided June with what she called an equivalent of a college degree in accounting.
Her bookkeeping career continued at Link Care Center in Fresno, where she worked from 1980 until her retirement in 1994.
She was the daughter, wife and mother of a preacher.
June is survived by her beloved husband Lonnie; daughter, Janice Little and her husband Eric; son, Tim McLain Rolen and his wife Shelly; three grandsons Brant Rolen and Chad Rolen and his wife, Missy, and the boys' mother Lori; Andrew Little; and two granddaughters, Ashlee and Samantha, who entered her life these past two years.
A Memorial Service and Worship will be held at Clovis Hills Church.
