I realize that it has been a few years since "Junie" died, and I apologize for being so late with my condolences.
I met the Wilt family when my Mother and Peg Wilt had the Coffee Shop in Piedmont WV in the early fifties.
Anna June's Father Mike would come to my home in Bloomington and get me to drive him all over. Mostly to Greenspring WV to check on his truck that was being leased to Sam Peters who ran a saw mill there.
Some times I would end up taking him home and staying the night.
Junie was a happy, good looking farm girl who enjoyed life and was very likable. The last time I saw her was when she stopped at my gas station on Backbone mountain in the late Seventies.
I knew Donald, Dolly, and Arlene. and their brother Johnnie is buried less than a mile from my home in Winchester VA, right behind my Uncle Eddie Kooken who was killed on Okinawa.
So sorry for your loss.
My Father Kenny Kooken would have been 100 years old today if he had lived and my Mother is 95 and resides in the Lions Center in Cumberland.
Mike and family knew her as Dowell.
