After a long struggle with Alzheimer's, June left us peacefully on Saturday afternoon, in her home surrounded by her loving family; husband Mike, children Mike, Sue Elgie (Jim), John and Margaret Jessie; her grandchildren, Bailey Short (Kyle), Kellie Callender, Laura Elgie (Kevin), Susan Callender, and Jackson Hall. June was born in Edmonton and grew up in Jasper Place. She married Mike in Fort St. John in 1957. They lived in several places in Alberta including Red Deer for 8 years before moving the family to Lantzville in 1970. June will be remembered by many friends from her working years at Woolco and Walmart from its opening till her retirement at 70! Others knew June through her parent volunteer work with the Nanaimo summer swim club. June was pre-deceased by her Scottish-born parents Robert (1958) and Jessie (1952) Lumsden and her brother Robert who died in service during the Second World War. She is survived by her brother Norman Lumsden (Fran) and her sister Donna Downey (Fergus) and their families. June was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister and aunt, and her family always came first. She was truly loved and will never be forgotten. There will be a small gathering in honor of Junella for close friends and family.
