June Louise (Dawson) Whitacre, 92 of Berryville, VA passed away Tuesday, November 9, 2021 at Winchester Medical Center.

June was born in 1929 in Cumberland, MD to the late Raymond and Catherine (Shrout) Dawson. She enjoyed camping, fishing and spending time in Rocky Gap and Chincoteague Island. Most of all, June loved her family, taking care of them, cooking for them and making sure they knew that they were her number one priority.  She could cook fabulous meals and bake delicious pies and cakes without ever needing a recipe.  After a busy day in the kitchen and making sure her house was clean, she would join her friends a couple times a week for Bingo.

June married Ross Edward Whitacre on September 14, 1947 in Cumberland, MD. Ross preceded her in death in 2009.

Surviving is her daughter, Gloria Eshelman and husband Ray; daughter-in-law, Val Whitacre; grandchildren, Jenny Hunter (Dan), Julie Shreve (Bruce), Lisa Yarwasky (Toby) and Sarah Barnes (Dennis); great grandchildren, Sam, Ethan, Gabby, Dawson, Owen, Samantha, Caleb and Alexander.

June is preceded in death by husband Ross, her son Ed, her parents, her sister, Peggy Sidaway and brother, Bill Dawson.

All services for June will be private.
