June Hartley Obituary

BRISTOL - June Casselle Hartley, 72, of Bristol, TN embarked on her Eternal life with the Lord on December 7, 2023.

June was born on January 3, 1951, in Bristol, TN to Louis and Arlene Morrell. She was the second youngest sibling of 8 sisters and 5 brothers. After a few adventures in Florida, Georgia and Alabama, she came back to her hometown in the 1980's and over the next 20+ years, became an extremely successful medical administrator and CEO of Intermountain Pathology Associates, later to be Highlands Pathology Consultants, where she retired from in 2003. In March 1998, June married the love of her life, Dalton Hartley. Together, they shared 2 daughters, April and Angela. She enjoyed the home they built and transformed an overgrown mountain side into a peaceful, magical slice of heaven on earth and took solace in all it had to offer. June truly loved life entirely and lived every day to its fullest and wanted to share that with those she loved. She was intensely passionate about her family, the wilderness and adventure.

June loved to travel and embraced the experiences and relationships along the way. June loved intensely and encased a heart of gold; she was truly selfless and sacrificed immensely for those she loved. She always went above and beyond for the ones she loved and was a gift to those blessed enough to know her. Her wit, elegance, character and strength carried her gracefully through life, touching all she crossed paths with, blazing a trail in whatever direction she was going. She gave us all love, hope, strength, purpose and encouragement in our own journeys in life.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Dalton Hartley; parents, Louis and Arlene Morrell; siblings, Reva Shaver, Naomi Hartley, Edna Cox, Frances Pippin, Leola Howley, Glen Morrell, Haskell Morrell, Bobby Morrell, Howard Morrell.
