SSW: Jackie G. - Inscription: "Married Sept. 18, 1948" - Research Note: Daughter of Joe M. Warren and Ethel Higgs, buried at Maplewood Cemetery. June is survived by two sons; one brother; two sisters; one sister-in-law; three grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; two nieces and two nephews; and several great-nieces and nephews. June was preceded in death by her husband Jack; one brother, Charles Warren; one nephew, David Terry; and one niece, Shelly Sachs. June grew up in the country and attended Hazeldale School as a youngster and graduated from Exeter High School in 1947. She gave her life to Jesus Christ as a young girl and served him faithfully until her passing. In 1948, June Warren was united in marriage to Jack Brandt in Purdy, MO with the Rev. Abb Bennett officiating. She started her working career at Vaisey Bristol shoe factory for nine years. In 1959, along with Jack, they opened and operated the Dari-Craft Café for twenty-five years. She could and would do anything that needed to be done at the café. Her specialty was making eight or more homemade pies everyday Monday through Friday. In 1980, she left the restaurant world behind and started to work at the Monett Head Start School as a nutritional assistant. She remained there because she loved being around children and did not retire until 1995. Not the type to sit idle, she went back to work in 1996 at the area State School as a bus monitor. She retired for the last time eight years later in 2003. June enjoyed life and had lots of activities such as playing cards with friends and family, especially "Pitch", getting together with friends for some good visiting, and growing her own tomatoes. She enjoyed watching her boys play ball when they were young and later in life, nothing was better than watching the grandkids and great-grandkids play ball, dance, sing, or whatever activities they were involved in. She was an avid St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan, watching most games on T.V. every time the Cardinals took to the diamond. Later in life, a two-hour car ride around the countryside and down by the "home place" was special. Her greatest enjoyment came from being with her family. She was always ready to go to family reunions, birthday parties, weddings, or to just "go visiting" the family. And most importantly of all was Sunday. June loved going to Sunday School and church. Until she physically could not go, she rarely missed. She was proud to be a member of New Site Baptist Church. June was a devoted wife, mother, "Granny", sister, aunt, and friend. She will be forever missed here on Earth but her genuine love for all of us will be with us always. | Buchanan Funeral Home L. Pearce CensusPhyllis Long Monett Historical Society Photo |

Research Note: She was the daughter of Douglas and Lillian Painter, who long preceded her in death. She was the middle of three daughters - Lucille (Gibbens) and Velma (Burrell) who also preceded her in death. Verla graduated from high school and then went to work for the CIA in Washington, D.C. as a secretary. She was extremely homesick so returned to Foosland after a year. Shortly thereafter she went to Chicago to work for the Red Cross where she met her husband of 68 years, Eldon Bullard, who was stationed at Great Lakes. They were married on June 29, 1946 and transferred to Pensacola, Florida where he was stationed as a Marine. After Eldon's discharge from the Marine's, they moved to KC to be near Eldon's family. They then moved to Pueblo, Colorado and from there to Denver where they remained for many years. Verla worked for the State of Colorado throughout their stay in Colorado. She was Public Information Officer for the Colorado State Soil Conservation Board, then as personal assistant to then Governor John A. Love, then ultimately retiring from the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice when they purchased a restaurant in Castle Dale, Utah in 1980. After selling their restaurant, they moved to Grand Junction, Colorado and remained there until they moved to Springfield in 1990 so Joy could finish her Master's Degree in Social Work. They moved to Monett in 1999 and have remained there. Verla always enjoyed "things that go fast". As a very young girl, her uncle let her ride in (and sometimes pilot) his crop duster. She raced cars at Bandimere Speedway in Denver long before there were any female racers. She used to go down on 17th Street in Denver on Saturday nights, with both kids in the back seat, and street race her souped up Oldsmobile Jetstar. Teenage boys who raced her never expected to be left in her dust. She always wanted to fly in a hot air balloon. She had a book published "Dinner at Noon, Supper at Night" about her years growing up on the farm in Foosland. Verla always enjoyed "things that go fast".
