Sylvia June Haughaboo

It is with hearts so heavy we announce the passing of Sylvia June Haughaboo, age 83, on Wednesday, May 18, 2022 in Jasper, Texas. June passed at her home, as was her final wish. A memorial will be held at a later date.

June was the eldest of 5 children, born on June 24, 1938, in Cooperton, Oklahoma, to Stanley and Ruby Berridge. Her birth month is where she got her middle name, the name she has been known by her entire life. A long-time resident of Jasper, June worked tirelessly alongside her husband in their automotive repair shop on Highway 96 North. Many would say she was the personality of the business. A warm and vibrant woman, she never seemed to meet a stranger. She had many dear, close friends she loved, and who loved her, and she chose to be near them at the end of her days.

Mother to 3 children, June leaves behind her daughter, Pattie Wilson of Burleson, Texas, and her youngest son Tommy McElhannon, Jr. (wife Shelley) of Kerrville, Texas. She had 4 grandchildren: Erin Kristensen (husband Bo) of Castle Rock, Colorado; Ashley and Tanner McElhannon of Kerrville; and Jessica McElhannon of Wichita Falls, Texas. She also had one great-grandchild, Nicholas Kristensen of Castle Rock. Surviving brothers are Charles Berridge (wife Jean) of Odessa, Texas; and David Berridge (wife Lori) of Silver City, New Mexico; and sister Cathy Owens (husband John), also of Silver City. She had numerous nieces, nephews and cousins to whom she was very special.

June was preceded in death by her parents Stanley and Ruby of Mimbres, New Mexico; sister Beverly Ann Poland of Sebeka, Minnesota; her son Michael McElhannon of Wichita Falls; and her husband Bob Haughaboo of Jasper.
