Obituary – June Elizabeth Sumner Galloway

June Elizabeth Sumner “Granny” Galloway, 90, of Sandston, Va., left peacefully from home and was welcomed into heaven on Friday, October 2, 2020, after a brief decline. She was preceded in death by her parents, John Hill Sumner, Jr. and Annie Mamie Johnson; her husband of 43 years, Pat Everett Galloway; granddaughter, Angela June Galloway; and all nine of her siblings.

Surviving are her children, Easter Galloway of Sandston, Va., Joseph Everett Galloway (Geri) of Swansea, SC; grandchildren, Leonn Everett Galloway of Gaston, SC, Lori B. Greene, Ray Baughman; and six great grandchildren whom she enjoyed visiting with in South Carolina.

June was loved by her many nieces, nephews, friends, and her church members. She especially loved hugs. June enjoyed having any kind of fun like Red Hat Lady outings, bus trips, playing BINGO, and just spending time with friends, both new and old. June loved watching backyard birds, growing flowers of any variety, eating out, and dressing pretty everyday.

She unofficially “adopted” her special family members: Janet West, Cynthia Cacek, Nelson and Joan Riggle, Bob and Debbie Bowie, Shirley Hughes, Rocky and Cindy Hudson, and Lucy.
