June Elaine Peterson Ray ascended to heaven on Monday, April 25, 2011 at the age 
of 72. 

June was born in Grand Junction, Colorado and was raised on the family dairy 
farm where, as a young girl, she drove tractors and rounded up cows, horses, and 
peacocks. 

She attended Mesa College and was a member of the "Steperette" dance team. At 
the age of 20, she moved to Moab, Utah where she met and married Donald Ray, and 
began a lifelong journey through the oil fields of the world. 
She was a devout Christian and a devoted and enthusiastic student of the Bible. 
She worked as a substitute teacher in South Texas, and volunteered at a Slidell 
daycare facility, working with children. She was a brilliant Bridge player and 
an active member of the St. Tammany Bridge Club. 
She was previously a member of the KL Bridge Club of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and 
the Campo Verde Bridge Club of Tia Juana, Venezuela. She was also a member of 
the Palm Lake Garden Club.

June is survived by her husband of 50 years, Donald Ray; by her brother Dale 
Peterson and wife Barbara; by her children, Carmen Selby, Daniel Ray and wife 
Cindy, Thomas Ray and wife Wendy, and Robert Ray; and by her seven grandsons, 
Keegan Selby, Walker Ray, Brett Ray, Trevor Ray, Joshua Ray, Justin Ray, and 
Nathan Ray. 
She is also survived by nieces, Lori Squires, Teri Thomas, Sheri Taus, and Vicki 
Johnson and their children. 

She will be remembered by her family, her prayer group, the Huddle, and by her 
many friends around the world.
