June Carolyn Salter
June 9, 1940 — Nov. 12, 2022
June was born in Rockford, Illinois, on June 9, 1940, before the family moved to Camden, Minnesota at an early age.
Later the family moved to Gardena, where she went to high school and graduated from Gardena High School. After graduation she went to work for Lockheed Martin in Denver, Colorado.
June was vacationing with her family in Soda Bay in Lake County, California, the summer of 1960, when she met Mike Salter at the Edgewater Resort. Mike and June long distance dated until April 8, 1961, when they were married at the Episcopal Cathedral in Los Angeles.
They made their home in Lakeport, California, until 1963 when they moved to Clearlake with their first daughter, Susan. In 1965 they were blessed once again with another daughter, Nancy.
June was involved in many organizations such as Park Study Club, TOPS, Eastern Star, Sons of Norway, Cotillion and as a dedicated Girl Scout and 4-H leader.
She was a member and parishioner of St. John’s Episcopal of Lakeport and Galilee Lutheran of Kelseyville. She served as the secretary of Lake County Television Club from the start over 30 years of service.
She was a friend to many, wife, family travel coordinator and mother to her girls.
In 1976 the family moved to Salter Shamrock Ranch in Lower Lake, California, where she lived until she went home to God.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — April N. Sombs passed peacefully in her home surrounded by friends and family on Nov. 4, 2022.
A beloved wife, mother and sister, she will be dearly missed.
She is lovingly remembered by her husband, Joel Sombs; son, Ben and his wife, Deborah Sombs; daughter, Laura Sombs; grandchildren, Kai, Erik and Abby; brother, Stanley and his wife, Lori Klein; and dear friend, Nancy Danning.
April devoted her life to her faith and family. She faced her illness as she did any life change, pragmatically with grace, fortitude and humility.
An avid reader and Star Trek fan, April enjoyed gardening, bird watching and spending time with loved ones.
She had many jobs in her life: from librarian, bus driver, and custodian to assigning notary publics across the nation, teacher aide and helping in her mother-in-law’s (Anita Sombs) used book store.
Her passion, though, was working with children. She volunteered in Sunday School, Awana and Vacation Bible School.
She was immensely proud of her grandchildren.
Memorial service will be held at Grace Evangelical Free Church in Kelseyville on Sunday, Nov. 20, at 6:30 p.m.
In her memory, donations can be made to UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals.
