June was born June 10, 1926 in Farmington, Utah to H. Clarence and Vera E. Carlos Hollist. She lived in Farmington where she attended Davis County schools.

Barton in 1946 who died in a fishing accident that same year. June later married Frank S. Vowles in 1948. June and Frank (“Dutch”) were together for 47 wonderful years and raised three children: a son, Dr. Wilson Richard Barton (Kathryn), and two daughters,  Kathe Porter (Steve) and Konnie Collins (Rick). June also has 3 sisters – Jeanne Larsen, Maurine Barker, Marilyn Rose (Calvin) and 1 brother, Van Hollist. Dutch, Jeanne and Van preceded her in death.
