June was a gorgeous person inside and out. She became a model in her late teens and had a long career at Travelers Insurance as Head of Human Resources. She was fun to be with and known for her gracious heart and infectious smile. She raised her children with unconditional love, support and encouragement. She shared this same love with her grandchildren, her many nieces and nephews, family and friends. Her family was the center of her life and she made it a priority to attend each of their significant milestones. She thoroughly enjoyed playing bridge, gardening, golf, cooking, and loved hosting her annual holiday and special event parties, along with countless gourmet dinners. She filled all our lives with love, laughter, joy and of course fabulous food! She was a devout Catholic who loved the Lord, entrusting his wisdom to guide her life. June was surrounded with immense love from her family as the light of Christ Jesus took her to heaven. She is eternally grateful for the daily love and care provided this past year by her daughter in law, Carolyn, her children, Kevin, Molly and Lisa, and her friend and compassionate doctor, Penny Edwards.
