Myrtle Beach.......June Baity Wright, known to those who loved her as "June Bug," passed away peacefully at Brightwater Senior Living Retirement Community on December 7, 2024, at the age of 85. A longtime resident of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, June will be remembered for her imaginative and gregarious spirit. June was born on August 30, 1939, to Violet and Lindsay Baity in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She was raised in Yadkinville, where she graduated from Courtney High School in 1957. She later attended the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. On January 22, 1977, in Vienna, Virginia, June married Lyle Wright, and they shared 47 years of matrimony together. June's creativity was evident in all that she did. From a young age, she played the piano and organ at her church. Over time, she began painting watercolors and designing bespoke jewelry. Her work was featured at art shows from Virginia to Florida. She also helped establish the annual Blue Crab Arts Festival in Little River, South Carolina. For many years, she was involved with the Waccamaw Arts Guild and Art in the Park, where she sold her works with her daughter. Alongside her husband, Lyle, she ran the Red Macaw Gallery in Murrells Inlet, where her infectious and witty character was revered by her clientele for over 20 years. Inspired by fashion and home design, June brought beauty into every aspect of her life. A lover of nature and animals, she could often be seen birdwatching through her windows or tending to her cherished cats and dogs. June is survived by her husband, Lyle Wright; her brother, Mickey Baity, and his wife, Pam Baity; her children, Scott Harding and his wife, Yesenia Aguilar; Julia Solomon and her husband, Brad Solomon; and Lindsay Harding; her grandchildren, Alexandria Harding and her husband, Charles Heurtevin; Lance Collins Harding and his wife, Sara Harding; and Sophia Goodpaster and her husband, Matt Goodpaster; and her great-grandchildren, Amelia and Ryan Goodpaster. June's family finds comfort in the cherished memories of her love, warmth, and strength, which will forever remain in their hearts.
