My Nuther Mother! We had many great times together and I miss her so much.!

Love Diane

A beautiful obituary for a beautiful person. It’s taken me a while to express my feelings for her on this site because it seemed there were not enough words to express how wonderful she was. I worked with June for many years in the Federal Government and her contribution to our department was extraordinary. I could not have had a more lovely relationship with her, both as co-worker and friend. She was so wise and I learned so much from her about life, love and relationships. I could always go to her with a problem or a fear, or when I simply needed some cheering up. She was able to provide advice that was so welcomed and she knew when I might need a little push or some words of encouragement.

Of course, it was sad to read of her passing, but I’m happy she was able to live such a long life, enjoying her friends, her family, her travel … and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. What a wonderful reunion it will be with Harry!

We met June and Harry many years ago when they came to The Northern Manitoba Trappers Festival to help their daughter Joanne who was very busy volunteering for the various events. They were such hard workers and over the years we came to know June as nothing short of being a "Ray of sunshine", a bundle of energy always ready with a smile and willing to lend a helping hand. She will be missed and forever loved. Rest in peace, dear, dear lady. Our deepest sympathy Joanne.

Joanne, I was so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing.

I remember her well on her many visits to Clearwater Lake. I particularly remember when we had a "Murder Party" at your Clearwater Lake home and your Dad was the butler and your Mom the waitress who served us food and drink all evening while we acted out our parts. It was such a grand happy time. She will be missed greatly.

My deepest condolences to MIke, Joanne and family. Your Mom was one of happiest people I've ever met. Always that big smile and always laughing. She lived her life with such joy. Wishing her peace. Rest easy June.

Always sorry that e lost touch. We shared a birthday, December 9, I remember the fun times and many laughs we had at our Association (ARMA) conferences. Harry was also part of those fun times. SO many memories. RIP June.

What a wonderful tribute to an amazing lady, who will be greatly missed, I send my love and prayers to Mike, Joanne and Family.

Mike would often mention as of recent that he was to collect June from the meat raffle, I'm not sure if June ever won.

though. During video calls June on occasion would give a wave saying Hi, always smiling. I will raise a glass on the 9th from England. Fly high June.

Much Love

Wow, what a full life! Joanne, Jenna and Joel you were so lucky to have her in your lives. Party on June, Harry has you by his side again. Cheers.

First of all , I offer my sincerest heartfelt condolences to her children, grandchildren and all those who loved her. Although our acquaintance was brief her impact was powerful, like her personality. She was the type of person who inspired you and left you feeling. " be more like June". It's always been said to leave this earth better than when you entered it. She did that and more, simply by looking at the family she left behind.

How can I be 'brief' to describe June? Because of June's daughter, Joanne I had the priviledge of meeting and getting to know June. June was the 'senior mom' I never had. As others have said, she was the sweetest and kindest of moms and everyone wanted her to be their mom. She was never overly judgemental, unless given a reason. If she did 'judje', she was also willing to forgive and forget. I am extremely humbled to have been a part of her life and her to be part of my life (thanks Joanne) and, as with everyone, I am going to miss her.. As a 'highlight' of the time knowing her, it would be, hands down, being her 'press agent' for the 2019 Grey Cup game. She was on CBC radio Canada, CBC radio Calgary, TSN radio live interview, CBC tv, CTV tv, Global TV and appeared in various newspapers. Any time the 2019 game would be brought up in conversation, her face would light up. Going to miss you, Winnipeg visits will never be the same.

June welcomed David and I into her home! She invited us to sleep over and fed us. She made us feel like family everytime I saw her. She was so much fun to talk and watch the bombers with. She will be missed!! GO BLUE!!

• Oh June, we are sure gonna miss you! We have been friends since you moved in next door in 1965-such great fun neighbours for 3 years! Then when we moved to Brampton, we just kept going for another 58 years & managed to get together nearly every year after that. Thank you for your friendship, for all the laughs & wonderful memories, June. You were a very special friend & you lived an amazing life! Right now, I'd bet you & Harry are having a Bloody Caesar! I can just hear Harry say- Hey! How about that!
• Our condolences go to Joanne, Mike, Jenna & Joel & to her many friends. She was one super lady!

The memories are many. A seven hour drive with mom that felt like an hour. Great conversation and lots of laughter. Then there was this special request from her to go watch a movie of her choice. It was classic and hilarious. Those who know the story will get a kick out of this. I love her so much. Peace 😍🙏

You Mom was a loving person who had a tremendous joie de vivre. She was the consummate Bomber fan. I remember her coming up for Trappers' Festival. May her memory forever be a blessing. 🙏

I am happy I got to meet you and travel with you

every time I see a owl I will say hello to you ❤️ rest in paradise sweet lady❤️🙏🏽

beautiful tribute 💐

What a lovely tribute to your Mom, Joanne! June was a special lady; she had a beautiful smile and always a twinkle in her eye. Hugs to you all🌷

June was much more than a friend. Derek introduced me to June saying that she was his second mom. June was a part of our family! From the moment we met when Derek and I became engaged, she opened her door, her home and her heart and made me feel welcomed and loved. We will never forget her kindness, her friendship, her wisdom, her laughter, her generosity, her beautiful soul. Earth's loss is definitely heavens gain! Until we meet again, you are forever loved June! The memories we share are cherished with so much gratitude xoxox

Derek, Maureen, Jesse, Jen Buchholz

What a beautiful tribute to your Mom who sounds like she was a loving person, who so loved life & family! May June's memory forever be a blessing.

I remember June for the joy she brought to others. A radiant spirit full of warmth, kindness, and boundless positivity. To be around June was to feel uplifting. Her smile unforgettable. RIP my friend ❤️😘

We were fortunate to meet Harry and June when they came to visit their wee granddaughter Jenna at Clearwater lake, and continued to visit each time they came. Armand and I always kept a "good" bottle of scotch for Harry and June thought that was so special. Although she was devastated by Harry's death, June kept his spirit alive through her travels and love of the Blue Bombers. My heart is with Joanne, Jenna, Joel and Michael at this very sad time, but remember whenever you feel the warmth of the sun shining on you, it is a hug and touch of love from your June. Fly with the Angels, June, spreading happiness and joy!

We first met June when she and Harry came north to The Pas to help during the Northern Manitoba Trappers' Festival when their daughter Joanne volunteered for one of the many Festival events. June and Harry pitched in with enthusiasm that year and several following years winning the hearts of all of us involved in making the Festival a success. May you rest in peace June. You were always a ray of sunshine. Our deepest sympathy is extended to you and your family Joanne with Blessings and Love.
