June Benner Page passed away peacefully on September 25, 2021 after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s Disease. June was born to Richelieu and Warren T. Benner on November 26, 1938 in Vincennes, Indiana, but cherished her time growing up in Greenville, Texas where, after the death of her father, she was raised by her mother and her loving second father, Hughes White. June graduated from Greenville High School in 1956 and was a proud Longhorn and member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority from the University of Texas at Austin, Class of 1960.
After college, June taught elementary school in San Antonio and Irving, Texas, ultimately settling in Dallas. June was an avid tennis player, but in 1989 she found her true calling at Hope for the Heart where she was instrumental in developing counseling material, which brought Biblical hope and practical help to others through written material and radio on over 100 topics and which was ultimately translated into 36 languages in 60 countries. June loved her seven grandchildren, and her favorite activity was watching and cheering on her six grandsons at one of their many sporting events. All who knew June know that she was a loving, no-nonsense, practical lady who deeply loved the Lord.
June is preceded in death by her parents, Warren T. Benner and Richelieu and Hughes White. She is survived by her daughter, Lynne Page Clarke and son-in-law, Mitch; son, Jon Phillip Page, Jr. and daughter-in-law, Laurel; son, Thomas Hughes Page; six grandsons: John Mitchell Clarke, Jr., Christian Candler Clarke, Nicholas Page Clarke, Jon Phillip Page, III (Tres), Benner Neuhoff Page, and Jack Hughes Page; granddaughter, Finley Fay Page; and father of her children, Jon Phillip Page, Sr.
