With heavy hearts, we are sad to announce the passing of June Arthur who’s big heart has now paused for a final rest.
June was a loving mother to Andy ( Lisa) and Tony (Charly). An amazing and douding grandmother to Liam and Finn. Proud of her extended family Ron, Bruce and Steve.
She shared her journey with our dad Don for 59 years until his passing. Mom was an avid gardener, creating and sharing beauty in many ways. She will be missed by her brother Warren (Wendy) and all the rest of the family that knew her as the « red Ant ».
June will be missed by all her friends new and old, if you were lucky enough to meet her, you knew how special she was.
We will miss her love, wit, big hugs and many little surprises.
Mom, who shared her heart with all would want you to take the time and make a friend feel Special!
