As an animation fan, a voice acting fan, and just as a human being overall, I'm really sad to hear this news. Truly an amazing legacy that many up and coming performers can only dream of. She was truly talented and that talent was only matched by her professionalism and kindness.
Writer Mark Evanier has written quite a few anecdotes about her over the years on his blog for those interested. One of my favorites is when June was trying to explain the importance of showing up early to a recording session to a new inexperienced actor...but said actor kept failing to understand why only constantly repeating "But I showed up on time!".
