Kingston – June C. Perusse, 80, of Kingston, NY (and a former longtime resident of Kerhonkson) died at her home surrounded by her loving family on May 17, 2019. She was affectionately known as “Grammy” and “Joonbug”. She was born in Queens, NY on August 3, 1938, the daughter of the late Charles and Catherine Pero Sohl. June worked for the Long Island Lighting Company before she decided to stay home and start a family. After many years, June moved upstate where she made many lasting friendships. She was an animal lover and donated regularly to the ASPCA and the Humane Society. She loved to laugh and be silly, but she was also strong and determined when she needed to be.

As a testament of her determination, in 2004, at the age of 66, she tested for and earned her first degree black belt in Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan®.
