June Cathleen Jones, age 69, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family on October 23, 2025, in Vero Beach, FL. She was the second-born of triplets on February 25, 1956 to parents Frank and Analu Jones in La Harpe, IL. June grew in up in Illinois before moving to Vero Beach in 1980.

June packed so much life into her 69 years. Her life was filled with love – love for family and friends, love for shopping and love for travel. June chased her dreams, worked in a job she loved, and marched to the beat of her own drum. Like Frank Sinatra sang, June did it her way.

June married Ron Perranoski, a coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers, in 1987. They lived in both California and Florida and spent 17 years together. June loved spending time with family at the Dodger games, traveling with Ron and enjoying the friends she made along the way.

June worked in various fields throughout her career, consistently demonstrating a flair for excellence and a passion for her chosen profession. She briefly owned a restaurant but soon decided to listen to her internal compass, focusing on her true passions and skills. This led her to her calling as a health caregiver. June became a private personal care assistant, providing exceptional care to patients with dementia and related neurological diseases. Her employer described June as the glue that held their team together. Her dedication to her work was evident, and she truly made a difference in the lives of those she cared for.

June cherished her family, including her 9 siblings and especially her many nieces and nephews—17 to be exact, along with about 20 great-nieces and great-nephews. The special bond she shared with her triplet brother and sister was timeless. They were siblings by chance, but best friends by choice.   “Family is forever,” June would say. Rest easy, June Bug.

June was preceded in death by her parents, Analu and Frank Jones of Stronghurst, IL, as well as both sets of grandparents: Frank and Mary Jones and Charles and Elizabeth Painter. Additionally, she was preceded by her oldest sister, Jan Jones-Turner.

She is survived by her eight siblings: Jay (Cathy) Jones of LaHarpe, IL; Jim (Cindy) Jones of LaHarpe, IL; Triplet Jack (Karen) Jones of Overland Park, KS; Triplet Joy (Scott) Pollock of Colchester, IL; Joel (Debbie) Jones of Vero Beach, FL; Jeff (Shannon) Jones of Hot Springs, AR; Joanna (Larry) Sholl of Carthage, IL; and Julie (Rich) Golinski of Pleasant Hill, CA. She is also survived by her brother-in-law, Richard Turner of Vero Beach, FL.

At June’s request, her ashes were scattered in the ocean in a private family ceremony. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. June was a committed Christian, and her faith was a strong foundation in her later life. She knew this world was not her ultimate destination and now is in the presence of the Lord. A memorial has been set up to benefit June’s hometown church, Terre Haute Methodist Church, and the hospice house where she received extraordinary care, VNA & Hospice House Foundation. Condolences for the family or memorials may be sent to Friends of June, P.O. Box 19, LaHarpe, IL, 61450 to be forwarded.
