She passed away on Sunday, August 24, 2025. June Faye “June Bug” (Bishop) Hutcherson was born in Brodhead, Kentucky on 28 June 1937 at home by a midwife, to the late George Grant and Pauline Ellen “Pliney” Brummett Bishop and the eighth of ten children, and named for a friend of her mom’s in Louisville and not for the month she was born in. While growing up on the Bishop farm off of highway 3245 just outside of Brodhead, KY she was constantly active outdoors, playing in the creek, doing cheers, and flips in the yard and working in the family store in front of their farmhouse, until her father opened a store in downtown Brodhead, called Bishop’s Grocery. The family lived on the second floor of the store where June attended Brodhead Baptist Church, where she was baptized and had a love for Jesus that continued to her current church family at Providence Baptist Church in Woodlake, here in Franklin County. June loved to learn and was eager to learn as much as she could in school. She became a cheerleader for Broadhead High School, and absolutely loved cheerleading. Evident of the many pictures of her tumbling and cheering in her yard. After graduation from high school June worked in the store and then had an opportunity to visit Wilma Belcher a dear friend from High school who lived in Frankfort. Wilma’s dad helped mom get a job in Revenue where she met the love of her life David William Hutcherson, who also worked in Revenue. She was walking to lunch one day where she was spotted by a handsome Bald Knob dreamboat of a man, who he told his friends that she was the girl he was going to marry. June and David married on December 27, 1957, in Brodhead, Kentucky before family and friends and made their home in Frankfort. When June married David she could not cook nor drive, her mom did not teach her to cook probably because she was outdoors all the time. June loved her in-laws Rufus and Girlyea (Harrod) Hutcherson and gives them credit for teaching her how to cook. When she would master one thing, she would cook it for days and weeks until finally David would ask her not to cook that particular item for a while and then she would learn something else. June’s yeast rolls, biscuit and gravy, skillet fried corn and chocolate pie were always a hit at holidays and family gatherings. Through the years, one thing has always remained, when talking or remembering June… June was a shopping fanatic and fashionista expert… you knew this would show up somewhere in this story, right? When you would see June out and about, you knew she was going to be “dressed to the nines”, whether she was going to Church, grocery shopping or going to the gym. You would never catch her wearing jeans or causal wear and most of the time she would have on a stylish hat, jewelry, and colorful jackets and usually high heal shoes. June, would make Seal Team 6 look lame on how she attacked and executed her shopping excursions in one day, and then repeat, look out for stores that had a sale. June and David were always together, whether, garage sales, auctions and on their many travels in the USA and to foreign countries. They loved spending time with each other and enjoying their lives to the fullest each and every day. They had a love of buying antiques and reselling them at their many booths in the Peddlers’ Mall. June worked for the Kentucky State Government for 44 years, starting off at Revenue after high school, then in the Transportation Cabinet in Keypunch on the 8th floor of the State Office Building and finishing her career in 2000 on the third floor with the Tax Branch as a Branch Manager in the Transportation Cabinet. June is survived by her sons, Michael David (Terra Trimble) Hutcherson of Frankfort, Kentucky, Joseph “Jody” Thomas (Paula Bennett) Hutcherson of Phelps, Kentucky; two grandsons, Aaron Joseph and Sean David Hutcherson of Frankfort, Kentucky, one step grandson Hunter Whalen of Phelps, Kentucky, and one brother George Grant Bishop, Jr., of Brodhead, Kentucky.
