Elise June Purves, 83, went home to be with the One she loved and lived for our Lord and Savior on July 13, 2025. She passed peacefully at her home, with her loving brother David by her side.
June spent many years in Colorado, where she completed her accounting degree and proudly opened her own accounting firm. In 1989, she returned to Raleigh, North Carolina, and joined the accounting department at Car Quest. After retiring, she moved closer to her family and her childhood home in Southern Pines, NC. Never one to sit still, June found joy in greeting and helping others at the front desk of First Health Moore Regional Hospital.
She is survived by her devoted sister and brothers: Edna Yow, David (Kim) Talbert, and Edgar (Barbara) Talbert. June was deeply loved by her many nieces and nephews, and she loved them just as dearly in return.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Albina Talbert, and her brothers Gary, Frank, and Mac Talbert.
A Graveside Service will be held at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, July 16, 2025 at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church Cemetery with Pastor Gregg Newton officiating, where June was a charter member.
The family will receive friends beginning at 10:00 AM until 11:00 AM in the church multiuse building.
Condolences may be sent to www.coxmemorialfuneralhome.com.
The family has entrusted services to Cox Memorial Funeral Home & Crematory of Vass.
