Speaking during the funeral service in Kabarak June's daughter Paula Susanne Jepkemboi said her mother taught her love, patience, endurance and how to pray.
"My mother was an inspiring soul, always there for those who came to her with their troubles. Her home was open to everyone and her hospitality made everyone feel important. All my friends love my mum almost as much as I do. She became Aunty June to all of them and never failed to make them laugh or feel at home," Jepkemboi said.
"She was the most humble, loving, compassionate, understanding family-oriented woman who was one of the most beautiful souls you could ever meet. She taught me love, patience, and endurance and she taught me how to pray and lead by example. She praised me whenever I did good and pointed out my mistakes with a gentle voice."
Speaking during the funeral service, Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka termed June as a cheerful and charming President's daughter who made them feel comfortable.
"June was a cheerful and charming President's daughter who made us feel comfortable. She was honourable and a lovely soul. On behalf of my family and the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition, accept our deepest sympathies. In her honour let us stand strong for her daughter Paula Susanne Jepkemboi," Kalonzo said.
"Let us also commit to leaving this country better than how we found it. We cannot afford to play around with the hard-fought democratic gains."
