June Montgomery, 85, of Amarillo died Sunday, July 5, 2009.
Graveside services will be at 1 p.m. Tuesday in Dreamland Cemetery in Turkey with Stewart Smith of Church of Christ officiating. Arrangements are by Schooler Funeral Home, 4100 S. Georgia St.
Mrs. Montgomery was born Dec. 30, 1923, in Hugo, Okla., to Perry and Letha Dickey. She met the love of her life, Archie Montgomery, in Idabel, Okla., while he was stationed at Camp Maxey in Paris, Texas.
A popular song at the time was called "Five and Ten Cent Store." The couple met at a five-and-ten cent store, where she was working at the time, and they claimed that song as their own.
They were married July 1944 in Hugo. The couple lived and farmed south of Turkey for the majority of their lives.
She was a homemaker and so much more, taking care of both of their families during illness and times of need. In addition to driving the farm tractor, working as a carpenter when needed and raising pigs and chickens, she also was a talented home decorator and loved arts and crafts, especially ceramics. Although she didn't have much spare time for hobbies, she was a rock hound, had a passion for all animals, and enjoyed all types of music, particularly western swing and Dixieland.
Mrs. Montgomery also was a member of the Church of Christ. June moved to Amarillo this year to be closer to family.
She was preceded in death by her husband on Dec. 15, 1996.
Survivors include a brother, Perry Dickey Jr. and wife Mary of Broken Bow, Okla.; four sisters, Virginia Mason and husband Cliff, Pauline Hite, Lynda Madrigal and Jane Hall and husband James, all of Amarillo; and many loving nieces, nephews and friends.
