June Combs

June Combs (95), of Cape Girardeau, Mo., went peacefully home to be with her Lord on November 6, 2026 surrounded by the love of her family.

Evelyn “June”, daughter of Charles & Nellie Hunt was born at home June 24, 1931 on a farm in NW Missouri. She was always a country girl at heart.

She married the love of her life, Harley “Vance” Combs on April 23, 1950. They were devoted to each other for over 70 years, to be separated by his death in 2022.

Their union was blessed with 3 children: Bonnie Sue (Hal) Majors, Stephen Vance Combs, and Mary Jo (Doug) Grinnell, 14 Grandchildren, 14 Great Grandchildren, and recently her first Great Great Grandchild.

June was a devoted mother and grandmother whose greatest joy was her family and her faith in Jesus Christ, the foundation of her life. Lynwood Baptist Church was integral in her life. For a time she also gave of her faith as an Ombudsman at Chateau Girardeau.

She entered the work force only after her children were raised and put her heart into her job as an Account Executive for Zimmer radio stations and was very loyal to her sponsors.

After retirement, June & Vance volunteered together at the Fish Food Pantry in Cape for many years and their service at the Cape Girardeau Senior Center was a highlight of their later years.

June’s love, gentle spirit and unwavering devotion to her family and faith leave a lasting legacy that will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

There will be no visitation and funeral at this time, but a Memorial will be held in the spring at the Missouri Veterans Cemetery in Bloomfield, MO for the family as they place her ashes with Vance’s.

June’s family is forever grateful for the love, compassion, and daily care shown to her during her years at Auburn Creek and Lutheran Home.

Any Memorial Gifts would be welcome at the Cape Senior Center.
