Linda June Prather

Linda June Prather, age 59, of Owenton, passed away Thursday, February 16, 2023, at her home.

Born February 12, 1964, in Knox County, KY, she was the daughter of the late Jason B. and Betty Lou Ore Alford. She was preceded in death by her siblings, Sonya Coppedge and Beverly Ray Alford. June was a member of South Fork Baptist Church and retired from Itron after 18 years of service.

But most of all she loved being "Granny" to her four grandchildren.

June will be missed by her husband, whom she married on November 19, 1980, Billy Prather.  She and Billy were inseparable and had a love most people can only dream of.
