June Schutzberger Endowment Fund

June Schutzberger was a teacher, not only by trade but by nature. And her legacy proves that for June, teaching others to give was a way of life – and beyond. June died Jan. 24, 2014, leaving behind waves of generosity that will continue to spread throughout our community, forever.

June shrugged off those who told her she “couldn’t” do something. A lifelong heart problem prevented her from achieving her goal of joining the U.S. Army – for a time. In the end, June got her wish and served along with America’s bravest during World War II. She later became a teacher and helped scores of people throughout her career, including helping to establish New Mexico’s first gifted program for students.

The Foundation is honored that June chose us to be a part of her legacy. We know that her life of generosity will continue to benefit our community for generations to come.
