It is with heavy hearts the family of the late June Marie Burton announce her passing at Sir Thomas Roddick Hospital in her 59th year after a brief and brave battle with cancer. June lived her complete life fulfilling others. Although no children of her own, she gave unconditional love to her parents, brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, became a surrogate mother, a devoted sister, a favorite aunt and a trusting friend to all. She was a faithful member of both the Stephenville Lions and Lioness Clubs, giving herself fully to serve others through these wonderful charities. Darts was her passion, again giving herself fully holding executive positions with the Stephenville Ladies Dart League, Bay St. George Ladies Dart League, Western Ladies Dart League and the NF & Lab Ladies Dart League.
