June Ann Hanna, daughter of Horace and Helen (Whitehill) Steddom, was born October 26, 1935, in Oskaloosa, Iowa. She was a 1954 graduate of Oskaloosa High School and then furthered her education at William Penn College.
Following her education she taught at Collins, Iowa for one year. June married her high school sweetheart, Jerry Wayne Hanna, August 19, 1956, at the Central United Methodist Church in Oskaloosa. They made their home in Oskaloosa and June continued to teach, first in Cedar for a year and then in Beacon for a year. June then remained at home for several years, staying very busy caring for her home and four daughters. In 1965, the family moved to Roland, Iowa. She eventually returned to work serving as a teacher’s aide at the Roland-Story School District for 30 years.
June attended the Ankeny First United Methodist Church. She was an excellent seamstress and spent many hours sewing for her daughters. She and Jerry also loved to cut and gather fire wood for their fire place; they spent many afternoon hiking around the timber together.
