During those years she also served as a librarian at the old North School in Bellingham, Massachusetts and was a 50-year member and past president of the Alden Club, the Franklin chapter of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. She was also a proud member of the Shin Pond Coffee Babes. June cherished the summers spent at her “Northernaire” cottage on Shin Pond. Spending her earlier years playing bridge and cribbage, she became an avid Canasta player in her later years always playing by “Grammie’s rules”! She enjoyed knitting, sharing new recipes and most of all, spending time with her family and friends. She was also an enthusiastic Patriots Fan! Enjoying the games from her living room with her sons and grandchildren over pizza, she always loved sharing highlights of the game. She resided at Madigan Assisted Living Apartments for the past twelve years. A very special and sincere thanks to the dedicated staff and personal caregivers she had during the last years.
