Obituary - June Brune



June Brune passed away July 21. 2015 at her residence in Venice, Fla., where she had retired several years ago.

She was a very talented musician and had played the organ at many midwestern and southern horse shows for many years.  June had the talent to continually increase her repertoire of music and adapt the music to whatever was performing in the show ring.
 
In 2004 she was presented the Shining Star award at the Indianapolis Charity Horse Show given to a person that went  that ‘extra mile’ in performance.  In 2013 she was awarded the Indiana State Fair ‘Golden Key” Award for 72 years of consecutive service as musician.
 
She is survived by daughter, Beverly Reason of Palmetto, Florida and by a host of admiring friends.
