June was born November 9, 1928, in Crosby County, Texas, daughter of the late Jessie W. and Toni (Freeman) Overton. She grew up in Whitney and was a graduate of Whitney High School. She also attended both Draughans Business College in Fort Worth and Hill College in Hillsboro. On November 25, 1954, she was united in marriage to Jim Carmichall from Blum.

She began her career working for both First National Bank of Whitney and later First National Bank of Fort Worth before spending 42 years as an executive secretary with Texas Power & Light (TXU), from which she retired. In addition, she was a licensed real estate salesperson and also served for many years as record keeper for the Aquilla-Hackberry Creek Conservation District.

June was a member of the Esther Sunday School Class and sang in the church choir. In her leisure time, she enjoyed gardening, tending to flowers, and sitting and sunning on her deck. Most of all, she loved spending time with her family and lovingly spoiling her grandchildren.
