HIDALGO, JUNE SMITH 
June 18, 1933 — December 10, 2011

June Smith Hidalgo, 78, was a native of Pelly, Texas, and longtime resident of 
Morgan City and Greensburg. 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.
