I just hear about this a minute ago, so sad! She was certainly a pioneer in the world of animation voice acting. She also voiced one of the mermaids in Peter Pan I think (and was a live action reference model for the mermaid as well!), and Lucifer in Cinderella. I really like this quote about her by Chuck Jones: "June Foray is not the female Mel Blanc, Mel Blanc was the male June Foray." Rest in peace, June.
