Resident Spotlight: June Scoggins

Born on January 2, 1949, at McCall Hospital, June Scoggins has spent most of her life in Rome, Georgia. She was the first grandchild on both sides of her family—a role that came with plenty of love and attention. Her mother often recalled how June’s feet hardly touched the floor during her first 11 months because someone was always holding and spoiling her. From a very young age, June was surrounded by family warmth and support.


Music sparked June’s heart early on. At just 13 months, she heard the sound of her uncle playing guitar and made her way across the house to listen, marking the beginning of a lifelong love for music.


In 1955, June’s family moved to a new neighborhood, where she grew up among nearly twenty neighborhood children all close in age. Those childhood days were filled with bike rides from dawn till dusk, sharing snacks and laughter, and the simple joys of outdoor play.


Education was a cornerstone of June’s life. She attended Floyd County Schools and Pepperell before pursuing higher education at Berry College, West Georgia, and the University of Alabama. Her career spanned 39 years in education, where she taught, served as an administrator, counselor, and coach, shaping countless lives along the way.


Though June never married or had children of her own, family remains central to her life. She cherishes her close relationship with her sister, brother-in-law, their children, and grandchildren. Her chosen family grew even larger through foster care, as friends adopted eight children, creating a vibrant extended family filled with love and support.


A lifelong passion for missions has carried June across the globe. Inspired by stories of missionaries from her childhood involvement in Sun Beams and GA’s, she eventually experienced mission work firsthand in the 1990s. She has traveled on mission trips both within the U.S. and internationally, embracing the belief that love transcends language and cultural barriers. For June, mission trips are not just travel—they’re a calling, more meaningful than any vacation.


With a heart full of love, a spirit of service, and a legacy that continues to grow, June Scoggins’s story is one of connection, faith, and unwavering dedication to those she holds dear.
