June Winifred Peterson's Obituary

The Peterson family made their life together, traveling throughout the United States for the next 20 years. As required by Harvey’s work, sometimes moving up to three times a year. June was the glue that kept the family in stride, enrolling the children to schools across the country and keeping up with the different state’s educational requirements, sports and activities.
In the early 1970’s Harvey and June settled in Tulsa. The family suffered the loss of Harvey in 2005.
June found love again, when she met Ralph Raper, they married in May 2007.
Both Harvey and Ralph were wonderful men, strong in the Lord, as was June.
June was a classy, elegant, beautiful lady inside and out and loved by all who knew her or met her. She was a dedicated wife, mother, and grandmother. Her positive enduring spirit was ever present. She will be missed by all and forever she will live in our hearts.
