June has lived in Lowestoft for over 50 years where she brought up her large family and was manager of a high street shop before retiring. She is an active member of the U3A (University of the 3rd Age).
New Mayor of Lowestoft, June, said when interviewed: "I am very much looking forward to the next 12 months and I am very grateful that councillors have put their trust in me. I will do my very best to be a good ambassador for this wonderful historical town."
