LaJune and Lynn spent the early years of their marriage in Cedar City, Price and Bountiful.

She loved to write and was often asked to help write programs for different activities. She also loved, and was very proud of her ancestry. The Hole In the Rock expedition was a favorite topic along with the settlement of the San Juan area. She had a quick wit and a fun sense of humor which her children and grandchildren loved. She had a way of making you feel like you were the most important grandchild, child, niece, nephew, cousin or friend. LaJune loved her siblings.
