*Obituary
Elizabeth June Moore Faulkner, of Beebe, Arkansas, was born June 2nd, 1937 in El Paso, Arkansas to Marvin and Ophelia Moore. June went to the Lord August 22, 2021. She was a faithful member of the Stoney Point Methodist church. June was a devoted school teacher, a devoted wife, a loving sister, aunt, and a true friend to everyone she knew.
June graduated from Arkansas Teachers College (UCA) in 1959 and taught 3rd-5th grade at Jacksonville Elementary school in Jacksonville, Arkansas for 31 years. She retired in June of 1990 to marry her high school sweetheart November 24, 1990, after reuniting many years later at a Beebe High School reunion. June and Gene spent many happy years of marriage in Bakersfield, California before returning to Arkansas.
June was preceded in death by her parents Marvin William Moore and Ella Ophelia Edwards Moore, 2 older brothers, Billy Jeryl Moore, her twin brother Marvin Julian Moore, and her doting husband Morris Eugene “Gene” Faulkner.
She is survived by her brother James Don Moore (Judy);2 sisters, Linda Jean Gordon (Jim), and Joyce Ann Corbin (Bob); sister-in-law Linda Moore (Billy); nieces and nephews, Jeryl Lynn Chunn, Cindy Carpenter, Jay Moore, Shawn Benefield, Jamie Skinner, Bo Moore, Larry Pruitt Jr, Marty Pruitt, Eric Pruitt; numerous great nieces and nephews; and too many students and friends to name.
June loved her family and job as a school teacher. Although she would have loved to have had children, she said, she spent too many years loving the students she taught and married only after retirement.
One of her students recalled a memory of June; “I loved Ms. Moore. She always had those white covered cookies on her desk, she gave me one once when I asked. Last day of school she gave me the little brown organizer she kept her pens in on her desk.”
One niece commented on the news of her passing; “Earth is full of so much hard work and suffering, and at least past death, she won’t feel loneliness, sadness and pain ❤️I will miss Aunt June. She was so warm and bubbly and blunt and funny. I felt like she really cared about what I was doing with my life and I valued her being so kind and rooting for me every time I talked to her about my life. “
Visitation will be 2:00–3:00 p.m. Thursday, August 26, 2021 at Stoney Point Methodist Church, with funeral service following at 3:00 p.m. Burial will be in Stoney Point Cemetery. Arrangements by Smith-Westbrook Funeral Home.
