In an interview with beliefnet.com, he stated: My mother’s faith
becomes very evident in watching the film –
her strength in God. He also claimed that his “mother and father were together because of their faith,” and went on to explain that “they always professed it – their faith and their relationship with Christ.”
In his book Anchored
In Love: An Intimate Portrait of June Carter Cash, John Carter Cash presents details of the way in which his mother’s faith first developed. At the tender age of 14, she professed to see tongues of fire on Pentecost and believed that the Holy Spirit had entered her body. One of the reasons for her initial attraction to “The Man in Black” was that his style of dress was reminiscent of a country preacher’s.
Beliefnet also presented a series of inspirational quotes by June Carter Cash.
Some reflected a marital philosophy that seems downright biblical. For example, June summed up her lasting marriage to Johnny Cash in this manner: I chose
to be Mrs. Johnny Cash in my
life. I decided I’d allow him to be Moses and I’d be
Moses’ brother Aaron, picking his arms up and
padding along behind him.
At her May 18, 2003 funeral service in the First Baptist Church of Hendersonville, Tennessee, June Carter Cash was described as a woman “who loved her God, loved her family and loved her friends.” Her pastor, Glenn Weekley, nevertheless reminded mourners that June is “in glory today not because of any deeds she
did but because of the deed Jesus Christ did 2,000 years ago when He laid down His life on Calvary.”
