Wanda "June" McGraw passed into eternity on January 11, 2022.
The owner of June's Beauty Salon and Hinton Realty, June was an active member of the Hinton business community for over 50 years. She also served on the Solid Waste Authority, and supported the Humane Society of Summers County.
Everyone always said that June had the most energy of anyone they knew.
June started her first business during an era when most women married young and worked as homemakers. She broke the mold, became a successful small business owner, and paved the way, by her example, for others who came after her.
June retired in 2006 and moved to South Carolina with her longtime partner, Dr. Tom Dawson.
She was always physically fit. June and Tom were both runners, and both have several trophies from races they ran during their many happy years together.
June spent the final years of her life in the loving and attentive care of the staff at Inlet Oaks Assisted Living in Murrells Inlet, SC, where she enjoyed many happy holidays, birthdays, and meals with her family, and especially enjoyed spending as much time as possible with her daughter.
June is survived by her daughter Mona Lyn McGraw and son-in-law Jeff Stuncard of Pittsburgh, her protective big sister, former roommate, and faithful helper Beatrice Jacobson of Murrells Inlet SC, her brother and sister-in-law Glenn and Darcy Gunter of Nokomis, FL , her brother Dale Gunter of Beaver, WV and a very special sister-in-law, Ruby McGraw of Southfield, MI.
She is also survived by her loving companion of the past 27 years, Dr. Tom Dawson of Myrtle Beach, special nieces Dr. Susan Jacobson, Pat Koslowski, Jane Linkenhoker, Trudie Cloyd, Debbie Dethridge and Jamie Hutterman. Special nephews include Johnny McGraw, Mike Gunter and his wife Emer, Derrell SayKally Jr., Dr. Sam Lippert, Jeff Lippert, Jack McGraw, Stewart McGraw, Rocky Wickline and Andy McRenolds.
Her sister-in-law, Ruby McGraw and two nieces Trudie Cloyd and Debbie Detheridge all visited her frequently, sent her cards, and never forgot her in her final years.
June also leaves behind a very special friend that she always thought of as her second daughter, Jennifer Willey of Niceville FL (formerly of Hinton), who called her frequently and never forgot her in her final years.
Lynnette Goss, June's best friend of more than 20 years in Myrtle Beach, loved her, visited her frequently, and was always willing to help out in a pinch.
Special friends and former employees Mike Atkins and Wilma Rodes of Hinton, who always remembered to send cards and visited her in Myrtle Beach, and have continued the tradition of the annual June's Beauty Salon Christmas dinner at the Char, in her honor.
The most loyal private caregiver/family friend in the world, Ellen Reilly of Myrtle Beach, who, along with her sister Bea, was faithfully by June's side in her last hours, as she always promised that she would be.
One very special grand dog, Keylo McGraw-Stuncard, who used his doggie magic to make her later years more enjoyable. He loved to sleep in his grandma's chair wedged beside her and would growl if anyone tried to move him.
June was preceded in death by her good friend and former husband of 35 years, Bill McGraw of Hinton, siblings Donald Jackson who died as a child, Mona Ruth Sakally of Venice FL, Thelma and Alfred Plotkin of Venice FL, Nyla Jean and Eugene Hinkle of Beckley WV, Burton and Martha Gunter of Beaver, WV, Larry Gunter of Cincinnati OH, and a very special nephew Jimmy Grimmet of Jacksonville, NC, as well as pets Holly, Biche, Sampson, Delila, Frosty, Ming, Mimi, Priscilla and many more too numerous to mention.
June will be interred near her beloved Hinton at Restwood Memorial Gardens, with her four most recent pets, who preceded her in death: Holly, Stormy (Bich), Sampson and Delilah. There will be a graveside ceremony, officiated by Rev. Robbie Merritt, on Friday, February 4, 2022 at 1PM. Contact Pivont Funeral home for details if you would like to attend.
