In addition to her parents, Nancy June is preceded in death by her sister, Velma Cochran, her brother, Jerry Kohler and her great-granddaughter, Rachel Lara.

In keeping with her wishes, Nancy June is to be cremated through the care of the Linn-Hert-Geib Funeral Home & Crematory at New Philadelphia and a family celebration of Nancy June’s life will be held at a later date.
