She most recently resided in Baton Rouge. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who lived life to the fullest. She enjoyed celebrating Mardi Gras with the Krewe of Galatea in Morgan City, Krewe of Romany in Baton Rouge, and Krewe of Louisianans in Washington, D.C., where she proudly sponsored her grandchildren’s participation as maids, debutantes and pages. June and Ken also enjoyed being the largest breeders of Peruvian Paso horses in the state of Louisiana for more than 20 years. She is survived by her husband of 34 years, Kenneth Hidalgo Sr. of Baton Rouge; three children, daughter Sherry Jones Breaux and her husband Dale Breaux of Baton Rouge, daughter Debra Jones MacConnell and her husband Brian MacConnell of Berwick, and son Kevin Jones of Baton Rouge; six grandchildren, Dawn Andrus Schwartz, Stacy Breaux Brown, Nicholas Breaux, Kyle Jones, Brian MacConnell II and Chelsea Jones; three great-grandchildren; and her sister Maurice Teague of Ponchatoula. She was preceded in death by her first husband, V.G. (Johnny) Jones, and her sister, Eunice Rayburn Shawaker. As a true believer and supporter of the sciences, her wishes were to donate her body to the LSU School of Medicine for the betterment of science and medicine. In that spirit, we ask that donations be made in lieu of flowers to the Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency Fund. A memorial service in her honor will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 14, 2011, at 10 a.m. at The Haven at Windemere, 8225 YMCA Place Drive, Baton Rouge, LA 70810. ===================
