She was born on November 14, 1940, in Bloomington; the daughter of Ora Alonzo and Mary V. (Deckard) Hall. Junie obtained her beautician’s license and began her career operating Country Charm Beauty Shop out of her home while caring for her children throughout their youth. For many years, she owned and operated Walnut Park Hair Cutting. Junie, also known as Miss Alice, taught cosmetology to the young minds aspiring to follow in her footsteps at House of James. She enjoyed attending flea markets, visiting Little Nashville Opry, line-dancing, and crocheting. Junie loved many things in life: her Salem Separate Baptist Church, her music, and her sweets; but she loved nothing more than her precious family. Junie is survived by her beloved husband of 64 years, Harold “Bob” Whaley; children, Tanya Sue (Todd) Yarling, Bobby Dale (Hope) Whaley, and Bev (Eddie) Deckard; grandchildren, Lindsey (Jeff) Whaley, Brittney (Patrick) Davis, Trent (Steff) Whaley, Tyler (Sarah) Deckard, and Tabby Yarling; and great-grandchildren, Brylee Davis, Brooklyn Davis, Connor Whaley, Caroline Whaley, Grant Whaley, Allie Whaley, Easton Deckard; and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; granddaughter, Tasha Yarling; brothers, Ora Hall and Carl Hall; sister, Maxine Thurman; half-brothers, James Neff and Jack Neff; and half-sisters, Mamie McArtor and Violet Baugh. Junie’s family would like to extend a sincere thank you to the IU Hospice staff, Dorothy Deckard and Angie Buck, for their care, comfort, compassion. A funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, November 21, 2022, at Allen Funeral Home and Crematory, 4155 South Old State Road 37, Bloomington.
