June Darby Armentor, age 84, passed away peacefully on July 2, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love, creativity, and devotion. Born to Bernard and Juenne “Eunice” Dartez Darby on May 3, 1940, in New Iberia, June was cherished as a wonderful mother who found joy in cooking for her family. Her artistic talents knew no bounds; she excelled in painting, crafting jewelry and rosaries, and even delved into videography and photography with remarkable skill. June's passion for education led her to pioneer the homeschooling movement in Louisiana, where she educated several of her children, leaving an indelible mark on the community.

A devout Catholic, June was a founding member of Christ the King Catholic Church and dedicated much of her life to sharing the teachings of Christ as a religious educator. For over 40 years, she lovingly played a pivotal role in the lives of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, imparting wisdom, love, and support. June will be remembered for her unwavering faith, boundless creativity, and profound impact on her family and community alike. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
