June Fender Wyatt, 97, of Mars Hill, passed away quietly at her home Friday, March 13th, 2026, surrounded by family.

To one and all she shared how blessed she felt by her Heavenly Father that she had been given a wonderful life she enjoyed to the fullest even to her old age. She spent her last days doing the things she enjoyed most- talking with her sister Joy Pool, her children, grandchildren and doing Bible studies with Kevin Boone. In her last days she continued to share her love of Jesus with her devoted nurses Nikki Wallen, Amber Ledbetter and Renee Wilde.

She was born July 28th, 1928, to the late Cas and Clara Fender. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband Clyde Wyatt, who she was married to for 65 years, sisters, Joann Anders, Kate Melton, and grandson Will Willis. One of the greatest joys of her life was Upper Laurel Baptist Church of which she was the oldest living member. She served many years as a church clerk and Sunday School teacher. She was a dedicated student of the Bible graduating with a Diploma in Education Ministries from The Seminary Extension Department of the Seminaries of the Southern Baptist Convention.

She and her sisters loved each other and remained a close-knit group for their entire lives. June was known as the CEO of the Fender Girls from Foster Creek.

She is survived by her sister Joy Poole, sons Terry Wyatt (Louise) and Gary Wyatt (fiancé Teresa), daughters Margaret Jamerson (Everette) and Melaine Willis (James), grandchildren Alan Wyatt (Kim), Steven Wyatt (Misty), Cassandra Buckner (Brandon), Neil Jamerson (Kelly), Eric Jamerson, granddaughter-in-law Bonnie Willis, Caswell Wyatt (Ashley), Callie Wyatt.
