On June 1, 1941, Dez Allen gave birth to Margaret June White in El Reno, Oklahoma. June, as she was affectionately called made El Reno her home for the majority of her life. During her early years, she accepted Christ as her savior working faithfully throughout her life, serving as a Sunday School Teacher and as a member of the Women’s Mission Auxiliary Committee. She also gave thanks and praises to the Lord by singing in the church choir, in addition to other devoted acts of service for her church community. Prior to her passing, June became a member of New Providence Baptist Church. June was a 1959 graduate of Booker T. Washington High School. Over the years, she enthusiastically looked forward to the BTW class reunion activities, where she would have the opportunity to reminisce about her being a member of the band, during which time she played the clarinet, as well as discuss her volleyball and jitter bug moves with her former classmates. She also pursued higher education by attending El Reno Junior College. June enjoyed sewing, crafting, cooking, and supporting her children’s sporting activities. She was also active in the care of her grandchildren and was a member of a bowling league with her late husband, Louis. Being one of five sisters, she treasured having her daily coffee breaks with her mother and sisters. Additionally, she loved vacationing with family and visiting her children. June took pleasure in going on shopping excursions, and spending “girl time” at the beauty salon and dining with her sister, Pearl. In addition, June worked as a cook in local restaurant with her sisters and was an in-home care provider. She volunteered in the community as a pink lady at the local hospital and participated in her children’s and grandchildren’s school activities, eventually becoming a substitute teacher for El Reno Public Schools. Earlier this spring, June moved to Katy, Texas, where she made many friends, while still keeping in touch with family and friends. On June 29, 2020, Jesus called her home. June was preceded in death by her husband, Louis White; her mother, Dez Allen; four sisters, Barbara Allen, Alice Rattler, Carrie Ward, and Pearl Allen; and her brother, John Hobart Allen. Cherishing her memories are one son, Warner White of Rahway, New Jersey; two daughters, Paula Orekomaiya of Katy, Texas and Bonita Miner of Fort Washington, Maryland; five grandchildren, Amber Poe (Jermaine), LaQueta Rochelle Miner, Kayla Orekomaiya, Hystacia Nichelle Miner, and Felicia Orekomaiya; six great grandchildren; two brothers, Warner Allen and Leo Allen; three sister-in-laws, Phyliss Allen, Edna Allen, and Judy White; three brother-in-laws, Oscar White, Donald White, and Lawrence White; a dedicated first cousin, Wanda Guiton, and a host of many nieces, nephews, close relatives, and friends.
