June Rogers Nunn
Sep 16, 1940 — Oct 28, 2026
Charlotte, North Carolina – June Rogers Nunn, of Matthews, formerly of Charlotte and Fort Mill, passed from this earthly life on October 28, 2026. Born in Lynchburg, Virginia, on September 16, 1940, she was the fourth of five children born to Betty Gholson Rogers and Singleton Belt Rogers (Pete).
She is survived by her children, Rebecca N. Tanner and husband Chris; H. Stuart Nunn, Jr. and wife Lee; Audra N. Tyree and husband Ned; and Heather N. Sanford and partner Andrew Hood; and her beloved grandchildren, William Tanner, Virginia Tanner, Jane Nunn, Stuart Nunn III, Carson Sanford, and Jacob Sanford. She is also survived by her brother, Albert (Buster) Rogers and wife Fran; her sister, Shirley R. Clift and husband Charles; sisters-in-law Joy Nunn Sigmon and husband Ed, and Helen Nunn; dear friends Jimmy and Sandra Reeves and Maxine Dunn; many nieces and nephews; and her furry grands – Millie, Wynnie, Penni, Bubba, and Kitty. Her parents; her husband of 61 years, H. Stuart Nunn; sisters Betty R. Jennings and Norma R. Cramer all preceded her in death.
Born in Lynchburg and raised in Richmond, June was a proud Virginian. After graduating from Hermitage High School, she married Stuart Nunn. They began their life together and raised their young family in Richmond, surrounded by extended family. Eventually, they made the decision to move to Charlotte for Stuart’s career. At first, Charlotte was not quite to her liking, but over time, as they built their lives and raised their family in North Carolina, she grew to love it almost as much as her beloved Virginia.
June was a fiercely devoted daughter, sister, wife, aunt, mother, grandmother, and friend. Her children and grandchildren were her world, and she made certain she was present for all of it – the everyday moments, the challenges, and the big, exciting milestones that make up a life well lived. JJ never missed a thing. She kept us honest, guided us, encouraged us, and showed us the way. Her love was constant, her presence unwavering, and her influence will live on in all of us.
Perhaps one of the greatest lessons she taught us was the value of persistence and dedication. While her children were in school and college, June quietly took one or two classes each semester, steadily working toward a goal of her own. At the age of 60, she earned her undergraduate degree. Her family was there to celebrate that remarkable accomplishment, and it was a very special day for all of us. She showed us that it is never too late to pursue a dream, and that determination truly pays off.
Her faith was a guiding force throughout her life. She shared that faith with her late husband, her children, and grandchildren, and all those around her. One of her favorite ways to worship was through music. Like any good Baptist, she loved to sing and was a cherished member of the choir at both of her churches. She was an active member of Providence Baptist Church and the Agape Sunday School Class until her illness prevented her from attending. But even then, her worship never stopped. At Matthews Glen, she continued to participate in worship activities right up until her final days.
Throughout the years, June was blessed with a wonderful circle of friends and colleagues. These enduring relationships brought her immeasurable joy, and we are grateful for the women who became such an important part of her life and, in many ways, members of our family. Thank you, Sandra Reeves, Maxine Dunn, Linda Mullis and her lifelong Bridge club for the many years of love and friendship. She loved you all!
The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Dr. Michael Friedland and the staff of Memory and Movement for the exceptional care, kindness, and friendship they provided over the years. We would also like to express our deepest gratitude to the staff of Matthews Glen - Cedar Ridge and Butterfly Ridge, Visting Angels as well as Via Health, for their dedicated and compassionate care during the final chapter of her life. We are forever grateful for the support and kindness you extended to June and our family.
