June was born in Suffolk in 1927. She was the eldest of five children however her baby brother died of pneumonia in 1932 aged 15 days and her elder sister Marise died in 1934 aged eight from a meningitis-like illness. During the Second World War, she was evacuated to Pontyates, a small village in Wales. During the later years of the war she served in the Wrens (Royal Navy) and was classically-trained at the Old Vic Theatre School

At 17, she met and married the actor John Garley, but he suffered depression and gassed himself at home in 1957. In 1958, she married Robert Arnold, star of the well-known early BBC television programme Dixon of Dock Green. They had six children, though her second daughter, Chloe (b. 1960) born premature at 28 weeks, died after only 16 days. The surviving children are Louise (b. 1959), Sophie (b. 1961), William/Bill (b. 1962), Chloe (b. 1964) and Naomi (b. 1966). Chloe suffered paralysis, but June is reported as saying that it went away after she prayed for healing.[citation needed] Brown and Arnold were together for forty-five years, until he died in 2003 of Lewy Body Dementia. Since then she has lived alone in their house in Surrey.[1]
